[Mild type of the Ebstein anomaly].

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Congenital Heart Disease
• Cardiac Malformations

Background:

• Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital heart malformation.
• It is characterized by apical displacement of tricuspid valve leaflets.
• This leads to atrialization of the right ventricle.

Observation:

• A case of mild Ebstein anomaly is presented.
• The anomaly resulted in moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation.
• Right ventricular dysfunction was also observed.

Findings:

• The specific presentation involved apical displacement of septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets.
• A variable degree of malformation and displacement of the anterior leaflet was noted.
• The patient exhibited moderate tricuspid regurgitation and some right ventricular dysfunction.

Implications:

• Understanding mild Ebstein anomaly is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
• This case underscores the importance of assessing tricuspid valve function and right ventricular status.
• Further research into the spectrum of Ebstein anomaly presentations is warranted.
