- Failure to thrive
- Fatigue
- Cyanosis
- Lack of appetite/poor feeding
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Pulmonary vascular disease
- Extremis with acidosis

- Heart murmur
- Left-to-right shunting of blood
- Pulmonary disease
- Frequent lower respiratory infections
- Progressive cardiac enlargement
- LV dysfunction
