A member asked:
Can you explain hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex heart defect: 2-6% recurrence risk with 1-2 prior affected siblings and up to 25% risk with rare familial autosomal recessive forms - both point to genetic underpinnings for hlhs. The pathological changes center around severe aortic and mitral valve stenoses and hypoplasia/interruption of the aortic arch.
