EBSTEIN Anomaly: The Rare HEART DEFECT Explained


Your HEART’s a Hero, But Sometimes It Needs Help! (#UniqueHearts #BornSpecial)

Your heart is an amazing muscle that pumps blood throughout your body, keeping you alive and kicking! But sometimes,a tiny hiccup happens before you're even born, called a birth defect. One rare defect is called Ebstein Anomaly, affecting about 1 in 200,000 babies.

What's the Hiccup?

Imagine a valve inside your heart that keeps blood flowing in the right direction. In Ebstein Anomaly, this valve gets a little mixed up. It's like the valve is misplaced a bit deeper in the heart than usual. This can make the heart work harder and cause some problems.

Signs and Symptoms:

Ebstein Anomaly doesn't always cause problems, and some kids might not even know they have it! But sometimes, there might be symptoms like:

Feeling tired easily
Shortness of breath, especially during exercise
Irregular heartbeat (feeling like your heart is skipping a beat)
Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet
Getting the Help Your Heart Needs

If doctors find Ebstein Anomaly, there are different ways to help your heart work its best. It might involve medications,special procedures, or even surgery depending on the severity. The good news is, with proper care, most people with Ebstein Anomaly can live long and healthy lives!

Interestingly, boys and girls are affected almost equally by Ebstein Anomaly.
