Electrocardiogram

There are no specific electrocardiogram findings in Fanconi anemia. However, patients with Fanconi anemia can present with the VACTERL syndrome, which consists of Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Cardiac abnormalities, Tracheo-Esopheageal fistula, Renal abnormalities, and radial Ldefects. If the cardiac defects are severe enough to disturb the conduction system of the heart, EKG abnormalities can result.^[1]
