Some of the congenital heart conditions include- holes in heart chambers, defects in major blood vessels, and valve issues. Symptoms like fast heartbeat, rapid breathing, easy fatigue, breathlessness, reduced or complete inability to play, swelling around eyes, legs, belly, indicate congenital heart disease.
