Hello. Heart complications can follow Down syndrome. Usually, those are defects on the heart’s septum. It is the wall that divides heart in left and right part. Those are atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Operation might be needed. You should consult with a pediatric cardiologist. He will suggest the best treatment option. I hope everything will be all right. Sorry I don’t have more information.
