What is Ebstein’s anomaly and how is it treated?
Ebstein’s anomaly is a congenital heart condition where the tricuspid valve is positioned lower than normal in the heart. This affects how blood flows between the right chambers.
Because the valve often leaks, blood can flow backwards, causing the right atrium to enlarge and the heart to work less efficiently.
Symptoms vary. Severe cases may appear in newborns, while milder forms can remain undetected until later in life.
Treatment may include monitoring, medication, or surgery. The cone repair procedure has improved outcomes by reshaping the valve rather than replacing it.
Regular follow up is important to monitor heart function and rhythm.
