Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve history and symptom

• Presentation depends greatly on 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 majority of patients have Exertional dyspnea, * Fatigue and cyanosisbut some may be asymptomatic.

• Palpitations may occur secondary to SVTs (supraventricular tachycardia) and WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).

• Heart failure

• Incidental murmur

• Paradoxical embolization may cause brain abscesses (right to left shunting due to interatrial communication)
