Heart transplant

She carried the Ebstein anomaly. What is this disease?

Pictured left is a normal heart. In the right image the tricuspid valve, which connects the right atrium and right ventricle is inserted lower than normal and does not close properly. Similarly, we have an atrial septal defect, that is, a "hole" that communicates abnormally both atria.

Consequences:
1) small and weak right ventricle to pump blood to the lungs insufficient. The oxygenated blood is less compared to normal.
2) right ventricular blood back into the right atrium. The heart becomes overloaded with blood and begins to expand, to become a "ball" with little power to pump.

3) For the ASD goes, unusually, no oxygenated blood (venous, blue) to the left side of the heart, mixed (purple) with arterial blood oxygen (red). The result is oxygen-poor blood goes through your body. Cyanosis (patient "blue").
