About Shone’s SyndromeShone’s Syndrome is a form of heart disease that has two main features. First, there are multiple problems with the left side of the heart, which receives blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body. The valves and passageways are often too small or blocked. Second, the abnormal areas on the left side get worse over time. This second aspect of Shone’s Syndrome makes it very different from most other types of congenital heart disease, which may be equally severe at birth, but do not progress over time.
