Complete atrioventricular septal defect and ebstein anomaly

Abstract

The newborn reported here presented with congestive heart failure and cyanosis on the first day of life. Echocardiographic examination revealed complete atrioventricular septal defect and Ebstein anomaly, a rare combination that has not been previously reported in the literature.

Echocardiography in Congenital Heart Disease

“…There are currently no studies on the use of ESE in the adult population with coarctation repair as the primary focus has been on the pediatric and adolescent population. These studies have found Doppler mean gradients of >30 mmHg through the descending aorta with systemic HTN during exercise suggest re-coarctation with the need of reintervention [37]. Bicycle exercise reduced systolic myocardial reserve in patients with repaired coarctation as noted by reduced isovolumic acceleration and TDI's, and diastolic reserve, as noted by TDI e' [38].…”
