Ebstein Anomaly
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Ebstein anomaly is a congenital malformation of the heart that affects the tricuspid valve, which does not form or is not positioned normally between the right chambers. It is present from birth.
What does it cause? When the valve functions irregularly, the flow of blood within the heart can be altered, with variable repercussions depending on the degree of the malformation.
Frequent symptoms: they may include fatigue, difficulty breathing, bluish coloration of the skin, or irregular heartbeats, although the intensity varies greatly from one person to another.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist, evaluate the heart with specialized studies; the cardiovascular surgeon intervenes when required. When facing suspicion or a history, the prudent thing is for a professional to evaluate the case in detail.
