Shawn White-VCFS?

Does anyone know if Shawn White (Olympic snowboarder) has VCFS?  I heard somewhere that he might, and on his BIO it says that he had heart surgeries by the age of one.  I was just curious.

Thanks for your question and welcome to FriendsOfQuinn.com.

 

According to Sports Illustrated, Shaun White was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a genetic heart defect. This is the reason for the heart surgeries. The article says his prognosis is good but he does get regular cardiac check ups.

 

After an extension search on the internet, I was not able to find any information stating that he has VCFS.

 

I hope this helps.
