Role of echocardiography in the assessment and management of adult congenital heart disease in pregnancy

“…3). In isolated lesion outcome is usually favorable but depends on the degree of tricuspid regurgitation and RV function [54][55][56]. RV failure can be related to increased CO. Paradoxical emboli and hypoxemia may be due to increased R-L shunt by increase in RV filling pressure in the presence of an associated ASD.…”

Influence of pregnancy on cardiac function and hemodynamics in women with Ebstein's anomaly

“…Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital malformation with an incidence of one in 200 00 live births [1,2]. Ebstein's anomaly is characterized by apical displacement of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve, which is accompanied by regurgitation, and a distal functional small right…”
