No known linkage: Fetal alcohol syndrome was first described in the 1960's among offspring of alcoholic mothers, many of whom died from their affliction within a year.The full spectrum of heart related effects included a transient heart murmur & holes between the lower or upper chambers.This was due to interference with heart development. Heartbeat issues are not part of the FAS description.
