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.
In the neonatal period, most forms of congenital heart defects are associated with hypoxemia. This means that there is not sufficient oxygen in the arterial blood. However, this condition does not always lead to visible cyanosis in the first days of life, which is why it often goes unnoticed.bout one quarter of all newborn children with congenital heart disease suffer from critical congenital heart defects. They will require surgery or catheter interventions within their first year of life.
