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 guts 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 various problems, together with cyanosis (a bluish tint to the pores and skin, lips, and nail beds), shortness of breath, fatigue, and coronary heart failure. Therapy for Julia Ebestein’s anomaly sometimes entails surgical procedure to restore the tricuspid valve and restore regular blood stream.
