A syndrome is a set of medical signs and symptoms that are correlated with each other. A syndrome can affect one or more of body systems. Different syndromes affect different groups of organs. This is a list of syndromes that may affect the heart. Syndromes affecting primarily the heart are written in bold letters. [1][2]
Syndrome
Cause
cardiac signs and symptoms
Other symptoms or organs affected
Notes
1q21.1 deletion syndrome
genetic (Chromosome 1)
Cardiovascular anomalies are present in 30% of the cases (for example anomalous origin of the coronary artery in "Class II-deletion")
TAR syndrome
Neuropsychiatric
Craniofacial abnormalities
Eye
Kidney
DiGeorge syndrome
genetic (Chromosome 22)
commonly interrupted aortic arch, truncus arteriosus and tetralogy of Fallot
Craniofacial
Thymic aplasia
Cleft palate
Hypocalcemia/hypoparathyroidism
Acute coronary syndrome
Commonly associated with three clinical manifestations: ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, 30%), non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI, 25%), or unstable angina (38%)
Blockage of a coronary artery
Adams–Nance syndrome
maybe disturbance in glycine metabolism
persistent tachycardia, paroxymal hypertension
Seizure
Eye (Microphthalmia, Cataract)
Alagille syndrome
genetic (Autosomal dominant inheritance: loss of function mutations in either JAG1 or NOTCH2)
Congenital heart problems e.g. pulmonary artery stenosis (common), Tetralogy of Fallot, overriding aorta, ventricular septal defect; and right ventricular hypertrophy.
