Down Syndrome Awareness Month - October 11
 

Did you know? Low blood pressures are typical for many people with Down syndrome.

Blood pressures and heart rates/pulses that are on the lower end of what is considered the normal range (or even a little lower) are typical findings in people with Down syndrome.

Additional resources are available in the Cardiovascular section of our Resource Library.
