چکیده

The incidence of children born with congenitally malformed hearts has changed little over the centuries. Our understanding of the lesions has improved subsequent to analysis in sequential fashion of the cardiac components. Ongoing differences in the approach to naming the lesions can now be resolved by careful application of the new evidence emerging from examination of the developing heart and by noting the lesions produced by genetic manipulation of mice.

An appreciation of the structural variability in the components of the ventricular outlets in congenitally malformed hearts.

The morphology of the outlet septum, the ventriculo-infundibular fold, the infundibulum and the septomarginal trabeculation has been well described. These structures are closely interrelated, such that variations in the morphology and orientation of any one of them inevitably affect the morphology and orientation of the others. In this review, we seek to clarify how these normal relationships c...
