Best Answer

General symptoms of Keshan's disease are:

  • Arrhythmia
  • Cardiac insufficiency
  • Heart enlargement - this can lead to heart failure
  • Loss of heart tissue

If Keshan's disease is not diagnosed and treated, then it can result in heart failure due to the selenium deficiency.

It has also been suggested that Keshan's disease may be, at least partly due to infection by a virus (coxsackievirus B3 - CVB3/0), which would initially present with the typical viral infection symptoms such as:

  • Diarrhoea
  • Fever
  • Lethargy
  • Malaise
  • Vomiting
