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]
