- Abstract
Congenital cardiac disease is the greatest cause of death in patients with Down's syndrome during the first two years of life, with from two-fifths to two-thirds of those with Down's syndrome also having congenital cardiac malformations. The lesions within the heart can be single or multiple. Our objective was to evaluate the frequency and type of such congenital cardiac malformations in patients born with Down's in Guatemala, and to provide baseline information for further research.
