Ezinye izingane zingase zibe nokushintsha kombala kwesikhumba okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka (i-cyanosis), ukunqwabelana kwamanzi esifubeni, ukuvuvukala emlenzeni, nokungabikho kwenhliziyo noma ukushaya kwenhliziyo okusheshayo. Ezinganeni ezindadlana nentsha, i-CHD ingase ithinte ukukhula nokukhula futhi ikhiqize ubuthakathaka, ukukhathala, nokuphelelwa umoya phakathi nemisebenzi evamile nokuzivocavoca.
