Best Answer

You will have poor blood circulation throughout your body, primarily your legs. The heart acts as a forward pump. The deoxygenated blood comes in through the right side, so the enlarged right side will create less efficiency. Because of the lack of blood flow to the legs, you will probably have claudication when exercising or simply walking.
