Ebstein's anomaly

Ebstein's anomaly
a form of congenital heart disease affecting the right side of the heart: the muscle is unusually thin and the heart valves are abnormal. It can cause breathlessness, failure to thrive, cyanosis, and abnormalities of heart rhythm, although if mild it may be asymptomatic. If mild, life expectancy is normal. If severe, corrective surgery may be necessary.
W. Ebstein (1836-1912), German physician
