Core Tip	Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality with roughly half of them having associated congenital heart disease (CHD). People with Down syndrome are especially predisposed to early development of severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) compared with CHDs in general population. It is not uncommon to come across Down syndrome patients with uncorrected shunts in adulthood with irreversible PH at which stage the only option available is a combined heart-lung transplant. However, despite the guidelines laid by authorities, the rates of cardiac transplant in adults with Down syndrome remain dismal largely attributable to the high prevalence of intellectual disability in them.
