Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, the pediatric cardiologist, and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon take part in its study and follow-up, often from the first months of life.
Possible manifestations: In infants there may be difficulty feeding, rapid breathing, sweating, or poor weight gain.
