There has been much variability in the definition of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) spanning the last century. Historically, emphasis has been placed on the assignment of the great arteries to the right ventricle as a definition of DORV. In this review, we aim to underscore the importance of conal muscle, rather than rules surrounding assignment of great arteries to ventricles. We will be outlining the variability in patient anatomy that results from variations in conal musc… Show more
