Ebstein's anomaly
In Ebstein's anomaly, the problem
is due to a downward displacement of the tricuspid valve mechanism into the right ventricle and
this results in a very large right atrium that partially consists of ventricular tissue and a
small right ventricle. This is a very rare lesion. An atrial septal defect and tricuspid regurgitation are usually present.
Multiple clicks are also heard due to asynchronous closure of the tricuspid valve.
