Dr. Daniel Zanger answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Venous return: A lot depends on the degree of left to right shunting . Patients can remain symptom free for some time until evidence of right ventricular overload appear and will result in breathlessness. Best be seen by a congenital heart specialist to assess prognosis in your case
