Ebstein’s Anomaly: An Impressive Cardiothoracic Ratio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiothoracic ratio upper to 0.60 is a factor of poor prognostic in patients with Ebstein’s anomaly and the prognostic is worse if is associated with others congenital heart disease. We present 4-months black boy with Ebstein’s anomaly associated with atrial septal defect, pulmonary valve atresia and patent ductus arteriosus wherein the cardiothoracic ratio nearly 1.0. The patient died five hours after modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. Delay diagnosis of congenital heart disease is a big problem in developing countries and contributes for poor prognosis.

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

Introduction Ebstein’s anomaly is associated with a wide range of cardiac dysrhythmias, including presence of 1 or more accessory pathways. We present a case of a girl with Ebstein’s anomaly and symptomatic tachycardia. Electrophysiology study demonstrated a slow conducting decremental pathway as well as inducible antidromic reentrant tachycardia. Voltage mapping of the pathway potential was pe...
