(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 10, 2011 ) New York, NY -- Zoloft heart defects may include hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a congenital birth defect in which parts of the left side of the heart do not develop completely. This reported Zoloft heart defect can lead to serious complications and may require multiple surgeries over the course of the childÂ’s lifetime. Because women taking this drug during pregnancy reportedly have an increased risk of delivering children with Zoloft heart defects, including hypoplastic left heart syndrome, legal recourse may be available. If you took this SSRI drug during pregnancy and delivered a child with hypoplastic heart syndrome or other Zoloft heart defects, visit http://www.classaction.org/zoloft.html and complete the short form on the right to find out if you can participate in a Zoloft heart defects lawsuit.
One of the reported Zoloft heart defects, hypoplastic left heart syndrome occurs when the left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta and mitral valve do not form completely. In children born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, most of the structures on the left side of the heart are too small and underdeveloped to provide sufficient blood supply to the body. Symptoms which may indicate hypoplastic left heart syndrome include cyanosis (blue skin color), pounding heart, weak pulse, cold hands and feet, shortness of breath and rapid breathing. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is not the only condition associated with the use of Zoloft or other SSRIs during pregnancy. Other cardiac problems such as tetralogy of fallot (TOF) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA), have also been reported as Zoloft cardiac defects developing in infants of mothers who took the SSRI drug during pregnancy.
Women who took Zoloft during pregnancy and delivered children with hypoplastic heart syndrome or other Zoloft birth defects may be entitled to financial compensation. Potentially, a Zoloft lawsuit could provide parents with compensation for medical bills and other damages resulting from the childÂ’s heart defects.
