    Truncus arteriosus is a rare heart disease where a single blood vessel (truncus arteriosus) connects the right and left ventricles instead of the normal pulmonary artery and aorta. There is also usually a hole between the ventricles. Symptoms include cyanosis, poor feeding, a pounding heart, excessive sleepiness, poor growth, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing.
