What are some common learning disabilities in children who have cardiac problems?

Varies : Some congenital heart problems r associated with learning problems. Some genetic disorders are associated with both too. Secondary learning problems can occur in babies delivered before 38 weeks (for example if the cardiac prob caused labor) or subjected to major health problems in the first month of life. If the heart problem causes decreased blood oxygen, then the developing brain can suffer.

In addition to risk: Of low oxygen supply to the brain, subtle congenital brain abnormalities occur in some children with certain types of complex ( especially cyanotic) congenital heart disease. There is ~ 30% chance of intraventricular hemorrhage during open-heart surgery.~ 30% of kids with chd have genetic abnormalities. In most states chd confers eligibility for early intervention.
