Patent ductus arteriosus is a defect in the development of the heart. It is an opening between two blood vessels in the heart. In case of a large opening, deoxygenated blood will tend to flow to other parts of the body instead of oxygenated blood. Symptoms include reduced intake of food, sweating, tiredness, weakness, breathlessness, etc. Treatment is done with medication to handle the symptoms and surgical closure of the defect.
