I have never heard of this. I presume it is treatable with today's modern medical advancements, if so what are the chances of survival? is there any particular area of the world where it is most prevalent?

They left out of the article WHY it’s called the Tin Man Syndrome…for those who may not know, it’s from The Wizard of Oz- the Tin Man had no heart (but did in other ways). ❤️

Never heard of this before…I can’t imagine the difficulties and potentially short life span those with this disease suffer.

My cousin was born with this. She never left the hospital, and lived for 8 months.
