Individuals who have this disease will experience cyanosis which is a blue tint to the skin because of inadequate blood flow to the body, this symptom will be seen especially around the mouth.
Other symptoms include pallor, extreme dyspnea, pulmonary valve stenosis, cardiac murmurs[4] and a deviated ventricular septum.
Cardiac murmurs are sounds that can be heard when using a stethoscope that make a swooshing noise rather than a normal “lub-dup”.
To diagnose crisscross heart during embryonic development a sonogram will be used, and it is very important identify the disease prenatally so the child can be treated immediately for better cardiac function in adulthood.
The treatment is aimed to fix a deviated septum and pulmonary valve stenosis rather than the rotated heart itself.
