Congenital Heart Disease in Children with Down Syndrome. Children with Down syndrome are at a much higher risk for congenital heart disease. As a comparison: the incidence of congenital heart disease in the general population is 0.8 percent. The incidence of congenital heart disease in children with Down syndrome is between 40-60 percent. Some heart defects can be left alone with careful monitoring while others require surgery to correct the problem.
There are many congenital heart diseases/defects, including benign conditions such as atrial septal defects, up to potentially fatal ones such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome. If by heart disease you mean atherosclerotic heart disease which causes heart attacks, then I am not aware of anyone ever being born with it. There are conditions in which one can develop very early coronary artery disease, but that is usually in the 20s, not at birth.
