Overview
In general, children with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) are asymptomatic. Symptoms usually do not arise until adulthood following prolonged volume overload of the right ventricle.
Symptoms
- Palpitations are usually due to supraventricular arrhythmias which in turn are likely due to right atrial dilation.
- Dyspnea may develop in adults as a result of right ventricular volume overload and ensuing cor pulmonale. It has been said that dyspnea may occur earlier in children if over 50% of the pulmonary veins drain anomalously.
- Hemoptysis may reflect the development of pulmonary hypertension and is rare.
- Pedal edema can occur as a result of right ventricular failure or cor pulmonale.
