Popis: Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare etiologically heterogeneous congenital malformation of the tricuspid valve, accounting for less than 1 % of all congenital heart defects (CHDs) and for 0.3–0.8 % of all patients presenting with CHD in the first year of life. The prevalence of EA is estimated as 1 in 20,000–50,000 live births, with equal male to female occurrence.
