Julia Ebestein is a congenital coronary heart defect characterised by an irregular connection between the aorta and the correct atrium. Usually, the aorta carries oxygenated blood away from the guts to the physique, whereas the correct atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the physique. In Julia Ebestein’s anomaly, the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve, which usually separates the correct atrium from the correct ventricle, is displaced downward, permitting oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to stream again into the correct 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 entails surgical procedure to restore the tricuspid valve and restore regular blood stream.
