Julia Ebestein is a congenital coronary heart defect characterised by an irregular connection between the aorta and the suitable atrium. Usually, the aorta carries oxygenated blood away from the center to the physique, whereas the suitable atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the physique. In Julia Ebestein’s anomaly, the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve, which usually separates the suitable atrium from the suitable ventricle, is displaced downward, permitting oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to stream again into the suitable atrium.
This defect can result in numerous problems, together with cyanosis (a bluish tint to the pores and skin, lips, and nail beds), shortness of breath, fatigue, and coronary heart failure. Remedy for Julia Ebestein’s anomaly sometimes includes surgical procedure to restore the tricuspid valve and restore regular blood stream.
