Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) can lead to several complications if not treated, including heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and increased risk of respiratory infections. The abnormal blood flow can overload the heart and lungs, leading to symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue. Over time, untreated PDA may also result in damage to the heart and lungs, impacting overall health and development, particularly in premature infants. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent these serious outcomes.
