Overview
Symptomology of cor triatriatum hinges largely on the size of the opening in the septal wall and the development or presence of additional, associated congenital heart diseases. Patients may present in asymptomatic or symptomatic fashion with symptoms ranging from heart murmurs to fatigue to right ventricular failure.
Symptoms
The severity of symptoms depends upon the size of the hole in the diaphragm separating the two atrial chambers and the integrity of the interatrial septum. Patient may be asymptomatic, a murmer may be diagnosed incidentally, can also be detected during cardiac imaging for other purpose.
Common symptoms include:
- Dyspea on exertion
- Orthopnea
- Tachypnea
- Fatigue
- Palpitation and signs of systemic thromboembolism
- Hemoptysis
- Markedly slowed physical growth of the body/growth failure
