Syndromes affecting the heart

page 1
Down syndrome
chromosomal condition
Turner syndrome
chromosomal variation where a person is born with a 45X chromosome pattern rather than the typical 46XX
Williams-Beuren syndrome
neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a deletion of around 27 genes in chromosome 7, characterized by a broad forehead, underdeveloped chin, short nose, full cheeks, challenges with visual tasks, increased empathy and decreased aggression
Edwards syndrome‎
human disease
acute coronary syndrome
group of symptoms attributed to obstruction of the coronary arteries
Patau syndrome
human disease
Brugada syndrome
heart conduction disease characterized by abnormal ECG findings
DiGeorge syndrome
T cell deficiency disease that is the result of a large deletion of chromosome 22, which includes the DGS gene needed for development of the thymus and related glands with subsequent lack of T-cell production
Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome
congenital syndrome characterized by additional electrical pathways causing electrical conduction problems in the heart, leading to sporadic episodes of tachycardia and other symptoms.
long QT syndrome
condition involving delayed repolarization of the heart during the heartbeat cycle
Noonan syndrome
congenital, genetically widespread disease considered to be a type of dwarfism affecting boys and girls equally
Eisenmenger's syndrome
fetal heart defect
Adams–Stokes syndrome
periodic fainting spell in which there is a periodic onset and offset of blockage of heart due to disorder of heart rhythm
Alagille syndrome
congenital disorder of digestive system
cat eye syndrome
disease
Lazarus syndrome
spontaneous return of a normal cardiac rhythm following failed resuscitation attempts
hypoplastic left heart syndrome
congenital heart disease characterized by abnormal development of the left-sided structures of the heart
Kearns-Sayre syndrome
spontaneous occuring or inherited mitochondrial myopathy with a typical onset before 20 years of age
Kabuki syndrome
rare disease
Dressler's syndrome
pericarditis characterized by inflammation, occurring after injury, located in pericardium
Barth syndrome
lipid metabolism disorder that has material basis in X-linked inheritance of the tafazzin gene and is characterized by decreased production of an enzyme required to produce cardiolipin
Ellis–Van Creveld syndrome
Human disease
Jacobsen syndrome
multiple congenital anomaly caused by deletion on chromosome 11, often featuring intellectual disabilities, dysmorphic features, delayed development and heart defects.
VACTERL association
syndrome that is characterized by the presence of at least three of the following: vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheo-esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities
CHARGE syndrome
syndrome that is characterized by a pattern of congenital anomalies including choanal atresia and malformations of the heart, inner ear, and retina
Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome
syndrome that involves pre-excitation of the ventricles due to an accessory pathway providing an abnormal electrical communication from the atria to the ventricles
chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome
Human disease
LEOPARD syndrome
rare autosomal dominant,[3] multisystem disease caused by a mutation in the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 11 gene (PTPN11)
Wellens' syndrome
medical condition
Andersen-Tawil syndrome
Human disease
Holt-Oram syndrome
autosomal dominant disease characterized by congenital anomalies located_in heart and located_in upper limb.
short QT syndrome
heart conduction disease that is characterized by heart arrhythmia defined as a short QT interval on an EKG (less than 300 ms) that does not significantly change with heart rate, tall and peaked T waves, and a structurally normal heart
blue baby syndrome
two situations that lead to cyanosis in infants
McLeod syndrome
rare disease
Costello syndrome
syndrome characterized by craniofacial dysmorphology, cardiac defects, mild intellectual disability, and high birth weight followed by a failure to thrive and developmental delays
Timothy syndrome
autosomal dominant disease that is characterized by cardiac, hand/foot, facial, and neurodevelopmental features; the two forms are type 1 (classic) and type 2, a rare form that has material basis in mutations in a transcript variant of CACNA1C
cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome
Human disease
Mowat-Wilson syndrome
rare genetic disorder
scimitar syndrome
Human disease
Coffin-Lowry syndrome
genetic disorder that is X-linked dominant
athletic heart syndrome
nonpathological condition commonly seen in sports medicine
Carney complex
autosomal dominant disease characterized by myxomas, spotty pigmentation of the skin and endocrine overactivity
Antley-Bixler syndrome
autosomal recessive disease that is characterized at birth or prenatally by malformations and deformities affecting the majority of the skeleton and other areas of the body with autosomal recessive inheritance of the FGFR2 gene
pre-excitation syndrome
medical condition
McKusick–Kaufman syndrome
McKusick-Kaufman syndrome is a very rare, genetic developmental disorder presenting in the neonatal period characterized by genitourinary malformations, polydactyly, and more rarely, congenital heart disease or gastrointestinal malformations
Kounis syndrome
medical condition
cardiac syndrome X
angina (chest pain) with signs associated with decreased blood flow to heart tissue but with normal coronary arteries
Romano–Ward syndrome
Human disease
Ritscher–Schinzel syndrome
developmental malformation syndrome characterized by craniofacial abnormalities, congenital heart defects, and cerebellar brain malformations.
holiday heart syndrome
medical condition
Jervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome
Human disease
sinus node dysfunction
medical condition
paroxysmal tachycardia
form of tachycardia which begins and ends in an acute (or paroxysmal) manner
Stromme syndrome
human disease
CHIME syndrome
CHIME syndrome is a rare ectodermal dysplasia syndrome characterized by ocular colobomas, cardiac defects, ichthyosiform dermatosis, intellectual disability, conductive hearing loss and epilepsy
Marden–Walker syndrome
medical condition
Heyde's syndrome
medical condition
Townes-Brocks syndrome
genetic disorder
triploid syndrome
extremely rare chromosomal disorder occuring during human embryogenesis, causing severe abnormalities in fetal development and usually lethal in the prenatal stage
chromosome 1q21.1 deletion syndrome
Human disease
