چکیده

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare entity affecting around 1 in 200,000 live births and accounts for less than 1% of congenital heart diseases. Ebstein's anomaly with an associated right-sided myxoma is extremely rare, with only one other case report found in the literature. Previous reports have also noted cases of Ebstein's anomaly associated with left-sided myxomas. We describe a female patient with, to our knowledge, the first case of a histopathologically confirmed right ventricular myxoma in the setting of Ebstein's anomaly.

A Case Report: A Newborn with Severe Ebstein's Anomaly in Hajar Hospital of Shahrekord

Background and Aims: Ebstein’s anomaly is an abnormal displacement downward of Tricuspid valve into the right ventricular, which is accompanied by myopathy of the right ventricular. It is found rarely with the prevalence of approximately 1:20000. Since the diagnosis of this disease in the appropriate position and time, the management of patients is important. This infant with Ebstein’s anomaly ...

Radiofrequency catheter ablation for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a patient with Ebstein’s anomaly

Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease in which the tricuspid valve is displaced toward the apex of the right ventricle (RV). It is commonly associated with atrial arrhythmia, especially Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. In fact, up to 20% of patients with Ebstein’s anomaly have 1 or more accessory pathways owing to tricuspid valve malformation, most of which are located along these...

Ebstein’s Anomaly and Left Ventricular Non Compaction Cardiomyopathy: A Not So Unusual Association

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by the presence of an extremely thickened endocardial layer with prominent trabeculations and deep recesses in communication with ventricular chamber and determining a typical spongeous aspect [1]. Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is thought to be a congenital arrest of endomyocardial embryogenes...

Quantification of intra and inter-ventricular dyssynchrony in Ebstein's anomaly using cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial feature tracking

Background Ebstein’s anomaly consists of varying degrees of tricuspid dysplasia and displacement into the right ventricular (RV) cavity, along with changes in ventricular function predominantly affecting the RV. Measuring alterations in contraction pattern and dyssynchrony may provide insights into ventricular performance in this disease. We sought to quantify right and left ventricular (RV and...

Cardiac MRI underlines the role of BNP and hematologic parameters as heart failure markers in patients with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve

Background Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve involves a congenitally displaced and dysplastic tricuspid valve (TV). The displacement of the TV towards the apex results in an enlarged right atrium (RA) with an atrialzied portion of the right ventricle (aRV) and an enlarged functional right ventricle (fRV). Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a heart failure marker. Its role in Ebstein’s an...
