Activity Description

Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by apical displacement of the tricuspid valve, adherence of the septal and posterior leaflets to the myocardium, and atrialization of the inlet portion of the right ventricle. This malformation is usually accompanied by tricuspid regurgitation, right ventricular failure, and arrhythmias. While most patients with Ebstein anomaly will be symptomatic at birth or in early childhood, some patients will not be diagnosed until their sixth or seventh decade. The clinical manifestations of Ebstein anomaly range from asymptomatic to severe as dictated by the degree of tricuspid valve displacement, severity of tricuspid regurgitation, effective right ventricular volume, and the presence of associated malformations such as an atrial septal defect or pulmonary valve stenosis or atresia. Arrhythmias are common and protracted in patients with Ebstein anomaly due to accessory pathways and right atrial dilatation. The common presenting symptoms of this cardiac malformation include cyanosis, heart failure, and tachyarrhythmias; exertional dyspnea is common in older patients with Ebstein anomaly. Surgical intervention with or without catheter-directed ablation is commonly required.

This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiologic mechanisms, clinical presentation, evaluation, and management of Ebstein anomaly and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving outcomes for patients with this rare but complex cardiac malformation.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Correlate the pathogenic anatomical lesions of Ebstein anomaly with the commonly observed clinical symptoms.

  • Assess patients with Ebstein anomaly through the interpretation of results from routine and advanced cardiac imaging techniques.

  • Implement evidence-based strategies for managing the tachyarrhythmias commonly associated with Ebstein anomaly.

  • Develop and implement interprofessional team strategies to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with Ebstein anomaly.
