Overview

Levo-transposition of the great arteries is a defect in which atrial and ventricular morphologies are discordant, and also the morphology of each ventricle is discordant with the great artery that comes from it.

 ==Overview==
 Levo-transposition of the great arteries is a defect in which atrial and ventricular morphologies are discordant, and also the morphology of each ventricle is discordant with the great artery that comes from it.
-==Anatomy==
-Levo-transposition of the great arteries is a defect in which [[atrial]] and ventricular morphologies are discordant, and also the morphology of each ventricle is discordant with the great artery that comes from it. In other words this anomaly is a "double discordance" with both atrioventricular  and ventriculoarterial discordance, which essentially "corrects" the physiologic abnormality. The atria are in normal position and received appropriate venous return, but the atria are connected to the opposite ventricle ([[RA]] to the [[LV]] and [[LA]] to the [[RV]]). In addition the ventricles are inversely connected to the wrong great artery.
