Overview

The common symptoms include cyanosis, exertional dyspnea, failure to grow, fatigue and, palpitations may occur secondary to SVTs (supraventricular tachycardia) and WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome), Paradoxical embolization may cause brain abscesses (right to left shunting due to interatrial communication).

History and symptoms

The symptoms of Ebstein's anomaly depend upon the degree of apical displacement of the tricuspid valve leaflet as well as the degree of dysfunction of the tricuspid valve. If the tricuspid valve is severely deformed, fetal hydrops may occur. If the valve is functioning, patients may remain symptom free for many years.The common symptoms include:

• Cyanosis
• Exertional dyspnea
• Failure to grow
• Fatigue and cyanosis
• Palpitations may occur secondary to SVTs (supraventricular tachycardia) and WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome),
• Paradoxical embolization may cause brain abscesses (right to left shunting due to interatrial communication).
