Most frequent chromosomal syndromes like Down, Patau, Edwards, Turner, and Williams affect the pediatric population in various ways, and congenital heart disease explains the altered quality of life they suffer. There is a lack of studies reviewing the cardiac anomalies in these syndromes, and the ones that exist are publications from past decades. We reviewed databases such as MEDLINE, LILACS, SCIELO, and Google Scholar, selecting the best possible evidence, and each chromosomal syndrome was investigated in relation to congenital heart disease, constituting five search groups. The article shows the characteristics of each heart disease described in the studies reviewed, the author, date of publication, country, and population studied, as well as a brief description of the frequency of the disease and its mortality. The results described in this review were contrasted with previous exist...

Los síndromes cromosómicos más frecuentes (Down, Patau, Edwards, Turner y Williams) afectan de diversas formas a la población pediátrica, y las cardiopatías congénitas asociadas explican la compleja calidad de vida que padecen; sin embargo, no se cuenta con muchos estudios que hagan una revisión acerca de las principales anomalías cardiacas en estos síndromes, y los que existen son publicaciones de décadas pasadas. Se hizo una revisión en bases de datos como MEDLINE, LILACS, SCIELO y Google Scholar, para seleccionar la mejor evidencia posible; cada síndrome cromosómico se investigó en relación con cardiopatías congénitas, por separado, y se organizaron cinco grupos de búsqueda. El artículo muestra las características de cada una de las cardiopatías asociadas que fueron descritas en los estudios revisados, información relevante de cada estudio (autor, fecha de publi...
