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 ...
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]
It is associated with other conditions such as Ebstein anomaly and hypokalemic periodic paralysis. [1] The diagnosis of WPW occurs with a combination of palpitations and when an electrocardiogram (ECG) show a short PR interval and a delta wave. [3] It is a type of pre-excitation syndrome. [3]
Consequently, arterial blood supplies become less oxygenated than normal, causing ischemia and cyanosis in distal tissues. [3] To compensate, the heart must pump a larger volume of blood to deliver enough oxygen, leading to cardiac enlargement and hypertrophy .
Lithium – Teratogenic effect of causing Ebstein's anomaly in mothers taking lithium. Opioids – Decreases blood pressure. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) – Toxicity causes arrhythmias including sinus tachycardia, junctional rhythms, and trigeminy. SSRI's also have interactions with anti-coagulation therapy and increases the ...
At 24, Wilson-Garza became that anomaly: a healthy, young person without any history of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity or clotting disease, and a never-smoker who had a stroke.
Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]
