đź’™ Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital abnormality of the tricuspid valve, leading to cyanotic congenital heart disease.
Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect where the tricuspid valve is displaced apically, causing “atrialisation” of the right ventricle. Presentations vary from neonatal cyanosis to adult arrhythmia and right heart failure. Common features: cyanosis, tricuspid regurgitation murmur, arrhythmias (often WPW), and right atrial enlargement. Echo is diagnostic. Management is supportive, with surgery (valve repair/replacement, closure of atrial shunt) in severe cases. Prognosis depends on severity of valve displacement and associated lesions.
