Overview
There are in fact many different types of dextrocardia. In most cases, there will be other defects of the heart and abdomen area.
Associated Defects
In addition to the abnormal location of the heart, there are defects associated with the more common types of dextrocardia.
Those defects are:
Double outlet right ventricle
Endocardial cushion defect
Pulmonary stenosis or atresia
Single ventricle
Transposition of the great vessels
Ventricular septal defect
Pathophysiology
Dextrocardia is not associated with any medical sequela.
