Overview
Natural History
The earlier the symptoms develop, the more severe the disease.
Complications
The symptoms vary in severity, some patients have either no symptoms or very mild symptoms and others may worsen over time, developing blue coloring (cyanosis), heart failure, heart block, or dangerous heart rhythms.
- Severe tricuspid regurgitation may lead to dilation of the right ventricle, hepatic congestion and congestive heart failure.
Other complications may include:
- Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), including abnormally fast rhythms (tachyarrhythmias) and abnormally slow rhythms (bradyarrhythmias and heart block)
- Paradoxical embolization due to an associated ASD
- Brain abscess
