Abstract
Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare cyanotic form of congenital heart disease (CHD) characterized by apical displacement of the tricuspid valve, with resultant hemodynamic and electrical manifestations. The severity of symptoms is determined by the degree of apical displacement and deformity and incompetence of the tricuspid valve. As a result, patients with EA can be severely symptomatic during infancy and childhood or can be incidentally discovered in the sixth or seventh decade of life. Hallmarks of Ebstein's anomaly include progressive cyanosis, right-sided heart failure, and tachyarrhythmias, among which tachyarrhythmias (most commonly atrial, but also ventricular) are the most common presenting symptoms in Ebstein's anomaly patients during adulthood. This review aims to provide insight into the genetic and electrophysiological (EP) basis underlying the tachyarrhythmias encountered when managing patients with EA.
