Pediatric symptoms
Generally, infants present atrioventricular septal defect symptoms within the first month of life. These symptoms include:
- Congestive heart failure
- Tachypnea
- Failure to thrive
- Fatigue
- Cyanosis
- Lack of appetite/poor feeding
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Pulmonary vascular disease
- Extremis with acidosis
- Cyanosis
Adult symptoms
Some forms of atrioventricular septal defect, such as partial or incomplete, are asymptomatic until later in childhood. Symptoms include:
- Moderate to severe mitral regurgitation
- Heart murmur
- Left-to-right shunting of blood
- Pulmonary disease
- Frequent lower respiratory infections
- Progressive cardiac enlargement
- LV dysfunction
- Progressive exercise intolerance
- Palpitations caused by atrial arrhythmia
- Sustained supraventricular tachycardia
- Atrial flutter
- Atrial fibrillation
- Congestive heart failure
