Overview
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by abnormalities in the structure and function of the tricuspid valve, which separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. In this condition, the tricuspid valve is displaced downward into the right ventricle, leading to leakage of blood back into the right atrium. While Ebstein's anomaly is typically diagnosed in childhood, some individuals may remain asymptomatic until adulthood. Symptoms in adults may include shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, cyanosis (bluish discolouration of the skin), and fluid retention. Diagnosis often involves echocardiography and other imaging tests to assess the heart's structure and function. Treatment options for adults with Ebstein's anomaly depend on the severity of symptoms. They may include medications to manage heart failure, arrhythmias, or other complications, as well as surgical interventions such as valve repair or replacement in severe cases. Regular medical follow-ups are essential to monitor disease progression and optimize management strategies for individuals with Ebstein's anomaly.

The treatment of Ebstein's anomaly in adults depends on the severity of the condition, the presence of symptoms, and individual health factors. While some cases may require only periodic monitoring, others may necessitate more active intervention:
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by abnormalities in the tricuspid valve, which separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. In this condition, the valve is displaced downward into the right ventricle, causing blood leakage back into the right atrium.
Symptoms of Ebstein's anomaly in adults may include shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, cyanosis (bluish discolouration of the skin), fluid retention (edema), and arrhythmias. Some individuals may remain asymptomatic until adulthood.
Diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly in adults typically involves a thorough medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac MRI, and sometimes cardiac catheterization to assess heart function and structure.
Treatment for Ebstein's anomaly in adults aims to manage symptoms, improve heart function, and reduce the risk of complications. This may include medications to manage heart failure, arrhythmias, or other complications, as well as surgical interventions such as valve repair or replacement in severe cases.
The prognosis for adults with Ebstein's anomaly depends on the severity of symptoms and complications. With appropriate management, many individuals can lead relatively normal lives, although some may require ongoing medical care and interventions to optimize heart function and quality of life. Regular medical follow-ups are essential to monitor disease progression and adjust treatment as needed.
