Ebstein's anomaly is a congenital heart defect in which the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve are displaced downwards towards the apex of the right ventricle of the heart. [1] EA has great anatomical heterogeneity that generates a wide spectrum of clinical features at presentation and is complicated by the fact that the ...
English: 12-lead ECG of a woman with Ebstein's anomaly (a congenital heart defect in which the opening of the tricuspid valve is displaced towards the apex of the right ventricle of the heart, resulting in a large right atrium). The ECG shows signs of right atrial enlargement, best seen in V1.
English: 9-year-old girl with Ebstein's anomaly and Mahaim accessory pathway. ECGs recorded during sinus rhythm showing minimal pre-excitation, and during tachycardia (antedromic AVRT) showing maximal pre-excitation with LBBB morphology
The majority of cases can be diagnosed prenatally during a routine anomaly scan. If evidence of a congenital heart disease is found, the diagnosis can be confirmed by a foetal echocardiogram . If it is not diagnosed prenatally, it may be diagnosed shortly after birth with physical examination, which would reveal cyanosis and murmur.
Ebstein's specialties were studies of malassimilation and improper nutrition, of which he introduced a number of new procedures for treatment.This included the virtual elimination of carbohydrates from the diet, while allowing fat to be administered with adequate protein; Ebstein believed that fat contained a nutritive value equivalent to two and a half times that of carbohydrates.
Ebstein's anomaly [31] – about 50% of individuals with Ebstein anomaly have an associated shunt between the right and left atria, either an atrial septal defect or a patent foramen ovale. [32] Fetal alcohol syndrome – about one in four patients with fetal alcohol syndrome has either an ASD or a ventricular septal defect. [33]

Primary tricuspid regurgitation is less common and can be due to bacterial endocarditis following IV drug use, Ebstein's anomaly, carcinoid disease, or prior right ventricular infarction. Holosystolic (pansystolic) Mitral regurgitation or MR No intensification upon inspiration.
