Overview

Symptoms of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction are infrequent (25% of patients) and include dyspnea, fatigue, syncope, cough and pedal edema.

Symptoms

Symptoms develop in only approximately 25% of patients because progression of the disease is infrequent. [1] [2]

  1. Chest pain
  2. Syncope
  3. Congestive heart failure
  4. Dyspnea
  5. Fatigue
  6. Pedal edema
  7. Cough
  8. Cough with pink frothy sputum
  9. Cardiomegaly

With a gradient of > 75 mm Hg symptoms include fatigability, DOE, angina, syncope and central cyanosis if there is a right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
