Overview
The exact pathogenesis of dextrocardia is not fully understood. The malposition is not as a result of any extracardiac abnormalities but intrinsic to the heart. It is as a result of embryological abnormalities that occur during the development of the heart. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of dextrocardia include: ZIC3, ACVR2B, NODAL.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- It may be caused by an abnormality in the cardiac formation, after the heart tube has been formed;
- After its formation, there is the looping of the heart tube which will determine the position of the ventricle and the atria.[1]
- If it loops to the right (D-loop), the right ventricle is located to the right of the left ventricle.
- If it loops to the left (L-loop), the right ventricle is located to the left of the left ventricle.
- Another possibility is a normal D-looped heart failing to migrate to the left hemithorax, which may cause a normal heart located in the right hemithorax. If an L-looped heart completes rotation in the right hemithorax, it can become situated in the right hemithorax.
- It may be associated with defect in dynein or cilia.[1]
Genetics
- It may be associated with a genetic condition called primary ciliary dyskinesia, which affects genes DNAI1 and DNAH5;[2]
- Other genes that may be involved in the pathogenesis of dextrocardia include: ZIC3, ACVR2B, NODAL.[3]
- In many instances other genetic causes are unknown.
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with dextrocardia include:[4][5][6][7]
- Tricuspid atresia
- Transposition of the great vessels
- Pulmonary stenosis
- Double-outlet double-inlet ventricle
- Single ventricle
- Sick sinus syndrome
- Situs inversus
- Situs solitus
- Situs ambiguous
- Kartagener syndrome
- Double-outlet or double-inlet ventricles
