Overview

There are no other diagnostic studies associated with Down syndrome. However radionuclide studies, which are used to measure ejection fractions and to investigate cardiac shunts and angiography for the assesment of blood flow, pressure, the hemodynamics of any defects and the anatomy of the pulmonary artery are performed.

Other Diagnostic Studies

• There are no other diagnostic studies associated with Down syndrome. However radionuclide studies and angiography are performed
• Radionuclide studies which are used to measure:
  • Ejection fractions
  • Investigation of cardiac shunts
• Angiography for the assesment of:
  • Blood flow
  • Pressure
  • The hemodynamics of any defects and the anatomy of the pulmonary artery
