Symptoms and Signs
Symptoms include jugular vein distension, cyanosis (usually visible in the nailbeds), right ventricular hypertrophy, and general symptoms of lowered oxygenation of the blood. When the stenosis is mild, it can go unnoticed for many years and have no negative symptoms. If stenosis is severe, sudden fainting or dizziness many occur when exercising. An enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) and swelling in the legs (edema) may also be apparent.

Forth-reaching to the Fruit, she plucked, she eat.
Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her seat,
Sighing through all her works, gave signs of woe
That all was lost.”
