A Rare Association of a Congenital and an Acquired Heart Disease
Abstract
The association of rheumatic valvular mitral stenosis (MS) with Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve is a relatively rare entity that has been described in the literature. The development of such an acquired heart disease in a patient with congenital cardiac anomaly may alter the haemodynamics and natural history of MS and vice-versa with adverse clinical outcomes.
