What are the symptoms of DORV?
Symptoms of DORV usually appear during the first days or weeks after birth. They’re like symptoms of other congenital heart problems and include:
- Cyanosis (blue-ish or purple-ish skin, lips or nails).
- Difficulty breathing, such as tachypnea (really fast breathing) or shortness of breath.
- Difficulty eating or gaining weight.
- Heart murmur (extra sound in the heartbeat, which a healthcare provider can hear with a stethoscope).
- Sweating a lot, such as while eating.
- Tachycardia (heart rate faster than 100 beats a minute).
- Unusual sleepiness or seeming “out of it.”
