Cyanosis: cyanosis is a prominent manifestation of cyanotic congenital heart disease (such as transposition of great vessels, tetralogy of Fallot, etc.). It can persist after birth, and it can be gradually obvious in three to four months after birth, especially in lip, nail bed and tip of nose. However, latent cyanotic heart disease (such as ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus) usually does not have cyanotic heart disease. Cyanotic heart disease occurs only when they are active, crying, holding their breath or suffering from pneumonia. Persistent cyanotic heart disease may occur when pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure occur in late stage.

Heart murmur: most congenital heart disease can hear murmur, this kind of murmur is loud, rough, severe can be accompanied by chest area tremor. Heart murmurs are often found by doctors. Some normal children may have physiological murmurs.

Poor physical strength: due to poor cardiac function, insufficient blood supply and hypoxia, severe children have feeding difficulties in infancy, stop after sucking a few mouthfuls, shortness of breath, easy to vomit and sweat a lot, like to hold upright, older children do not want to move, like squatting, easy to fatigue after activity, paroxysmal dyspnea, severe hypoxia often in lactation, crying or defecation when suddenly faint, prone to heart failure.
