What are the symptoms of acyanotic heart disease?

Babies born with acyanotic heart disease may have a heart murmur, but others may not have any signs at first. Even if they don’t cause any problems at first, these defects can cause problems over time.

People with one of these defects often develop high blood pressure (hypertension), as the heart has to pump harder to do its job. They also may develop pulmonary hypertension, high blood pressure in the lungs. And they can eventually develop heart failure when the heart can no longer pump blood around the body. Those conditions may cause:

• Breathlessness.
• Dizziness.
• Fatigue (extreme tiredness).
• Syncope (fainting).
