  1. According to the inspection. Most children with Down syndrome are the result of different problems that occur during the growth and development of the brain, so the main problem is in the brain, not the heart. However, it is also possible to have heart problems at the same time, which requires targeted examinations to confirm what kind of problems the heart has.

Therefore, most Down syndrome patients do not have problems in many parts of their body. Therefore, the heart of Down syndrome patients is mostly in a healthy state, but the brain is affected by Down syndrome due to different reasons.

This is called Down syndrome combined with congenital heart disease. However, this phenomenon also needs to be diagnosed based on specific examination results. Not all Down syndrome children necessarily have congenital heart disease.
