dc.description.abstractAbout 1 in 1 000 children has Down syndrome. Extra chromosomal material results in a myriad of potential problems for the affected individual. About 40% of Down syndrome children will have cardiac abnormalities, ranging from the simple arterial duct to the complex atrioventricular septal defect. Virtually all these defects are amenable to surgical correction and extended survival is possible. In South Africa many of these children do not undergo cardiac surgery.
