Syndromes affecting the heart

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.

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.
