==Ebstein== | |||
In Ebstein anomaly the tricuspid valve is inserted more apically than normal. This yields a very large right atrium. About 50% of individuals with Ebstein's anomaly have evidence of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, secondary to the atrialized right ventricular tissue. | |||
Other abnormalities that can be seen on the ECG include | |||
#signs of right atrial enlargement or tall and broad 'Himalayan' P waves, | |||
#first degree atrioventricular block manifesting as a prolonged PR-interval | |||
#low amplitude QRS complexes in the right precordial leads | |||
#atypical right bundle branch block | |||
#T wave inversion in V1-V4 and Q waves in V1-V4 and II, III and aVF. | |||
#Q waves in II, III, AVF. These Q waves are thought to reflect fibrotic thinning of the right ventricular free wall and/or septal fibrosis with coexisting left posterior hemiblock<cite>khairy</cite> | |||
