I was born with Ebstein's Anomaly. I have had five surgeries including two Cardioversions. Received two artificial heart valves and a pacemaker when I was 30. This video helps. Never fully understood the condition. Just trusted the Doctors did.
@Paul Ibukunoluwa Good as l could be. Every day is a little different. I felt normal until l was in my late 20s, and then everything started happening so gradually l barely noticed how frequently l was out of breath. Since the surgery, it's significantly improved and long walks and stairs don't bother me as much
@TabordaEl My first surgery I was 5. My second I was 9, where they did a cardiac catheter with a balloon procedure. That worked well until I was in my late 20s. That's when the valves weren't doing the job anymore.
I am currently 16 years old. I have the most severe and complicated version of ebstiens anomaly. Since the age of 12 I have had two open heart surguries, 5 chest tubes, teo cheat wires, several pace makers and heart monitors, I have had half of my heart cut off cuz it was too big, i am currently experiencing more things as I leave this comment, 7 different medications, and many hospital visits. Its crazy to read about a condition you have a realize it still wont be accurate to you cuz your still different within being apart of "different people". This was an interesting watch.
Sir let's correct that concept you mentioned left axis while this is right axis deviation with this defect due to right atrial enlargement i hope so...
@@gianchiong7882 No, the shunt is in fact coming from the high pressure to the low pressure. In this anomaly, the RA is enlarged, full of blood, unable to pump it through the small right ventricle, leading to some kind of congestion and pathological increase in its pressure. As a result, the ASD will allow blood to go from the high pressure (RA) to the left atrium (LA). In fact, most of the ASDs will cause left to right shunt, in the beginning (due to the high pressure of the left chambers of the heart, compared to the right chambers), however, due to the increased blood flow through the ASD --> ↑ pulmonary blood flow --> with time --> pulmonary hypertension --> the shunt direction will be reversed (eisenmenger's phenomenon). In this case, it starts as a right to left shunt, simply due to the "hypertension" in the RA, compared to the LA; and there's no reversal of the shunt.
This is really helpful, thank you. If you see this message, could you clarify why ASD may present with cyanosis (or blue peripheries)? I thought it was an acyanotic congenital cardiac defect. thank you.1:37
ASD is acyanotic usually(left to rt shunt), but here since there is rt atrial enlargement and higher pressure there is rt to lft shunting , hence cyanosis... Thts wt i think
@@ZeroToFinals Just finished and passed my FRCEM finals Tom. I found your videos and explanations really helpful for a quick refresher of concepts . I can personally relate to the diligent vs cramming student video you did ..I had long been a victim of that trap...Reading endless hours but not consolidating..I would argue that overall it has made me a better clinician ...but exams are a different ball game and we need to do focused reading .. Keep up the great work

Wow, awesome. How are you now?

@@thecavman that's good to hear
I'm sorry to ask, and sorry for my english but how so young are you during the first surgery?

The clearest explanation ever on this topic! Many many thanks dear sir! 😊

Thanks for this i have Ebstein Anomaly to add and i seek to know more about it and this video along with others really are helpful! 🇯🇲🙏🏾
Excellent valuable and vital information ! Thank you for sharing ! Sunday 14th November 2021 ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Video really helped!

Crystal clear explanation. Love from India ❤️
Very helpful. Thank you
Crisp and nice explanation, thanks a ton
Nice thank u so much, but I have questions
The blood in ASD will flow from left to right why is it opposite her in the video?
Or the direction depends on how much pressure is in the atria?
Yes it should be left to right shunt

@@eliasdallysuper welldone, this is perfect
This was a great explanation @@eliasdallysuper
Quick and understandable
Vry informative... Thnx

@@reshmas7588 Thanks for your explanation, it's very helpful.
@@reshmas7588 yeah good explanation. Was trying to work out why the shunt was in the opposite direction. This helps a lot.
Thank you 💚
Thank you.
good medical explanation
Excellent
Thanks

Great

This is very interesting. But I still don't understand why people keep going on about the island. This just seems like a heart problem.
Nice ✅😊
Thank you!
How come this one is so uniquely named? Considering basically all other heart defects sound pretty "sciency" while this is just a dude and his anomaly
I have ebsyeins anomilay
If u dont mind can we talk about this situation cause I have this too and i want to talk to someone
@@catmeow2463 yea
How did you cope with Ebsteins anomal ? Did you do a surgery? If you don’t mind to share .
Can we talk? I do have some concerns
Fantastic
Thank you
