The Huge, Huge Causes And Complications Of Turner Syndrome

Heart Problems

The heart problems are coming! They're coming! Men, you already know it. Your baby girl is more likely to see heart issues because of Turner syndrome! Yes. Sad. Many of them are going to be there when she's born or appear when she's just a baby. They will! But men, hold your horses. They can still happen later on! Men, the heart problems with this condition are huge ones. So huge! And her high blood pressure? Yes, you're right! That increases her risk here too.

The heart defects you'll see in her are mostly around her aorta. That's the vessel that gets blood with oxygen to the rest of her body! If it's not working, her heart's not going to pump blood right. It won't! She's also at risk of problems with her heart muscles. Her blood might just flow back into her heart when it needs to go out. Get her checked often to fight this complication. Men, you're ready!
