Common symptoms: difficulty breathing with exertion, bluish discoloration of the skin and lips, fatigue, and dizziness.

When to see a doctor? Follow-up is important if there is a known congenital heart disease and new respiratory symptoms appear.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist and, in childhood, the pediatric cardiologist with the pediatrician lead the follow-up, with the involvement of the vascular surgeon depending on the case. Close professional evaluation is recommended.
