Prognosis

The earlier the symptoms develop, the more severe the disease. The symptoms vary in severity, some patients have either no symptoms or very mild symptoms and others may worsen over time, developing blue coloring (cyanosis), heart failure, heart block, or dangerous heart rhythms. A severe leakage may lead to swelling of the heart and liver and congestive heart failure. Other complications may include:

• Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), including abnormally fast rhythms (tachyarrhythmias) and abnormally slow rhythms (bradyarrhythmias and heart block)
• Blood clots from the heart to other parts of the body
• Brain adscess
