Ebstein Anomaly treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Ebstein anomaly is a congenital heart defect in which the tricuspid valve, which separates two chambers on the right side of the heart, forms abnormally and does not close properly.

Common symptoms: fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations and, in some cases, a bluish coloring of the skin, which may be noticed from infancy or later on.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable with unusual fatigue, difficulty breathing, or irregular heartbeats.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist together with the pediatrician, are the professionals suited to provide follow-up. Reviewing the case with them allows appropriate care.
