What Is Noonan Syndrome?
4. Heart Conditions
It doesn’t take a medical expert to know that our heart is one of our most important organs. It is important that they are fully functioning for optimal health, but some people are born with deformities of the heart. This includes many people born with Noonan syndrome.
Heart conditions associated with Noonan syndrome include the heart muscle growing thicker than it should do. Valve disorders are also fairly common, along with narrower than usual vessels, and a hole in the walls between chambers. Most people with Noonan syndrome will experience an irregular heartbeat, regardless of whether or not they have other heart conditions.
