Abstract

Background: It was in 1866 when Wilhelm Ebstein first described a rare case of a 19-year-old cyanotic patient with tricuspid valve regurgitation caused by a congenital malformation. Since then, Ebstein's anomaly (EA) has been recognized as a condition that exhibits a diverse clinical course with a formidable challenge for clinicians in terms of diagnosis, management, and prognosis.

Case summary: We present a case series of four patients with EA, shedding light on the varied clinical manifestations, treatment approaches, and outcomes that underscore the multifaceted nature of this condition.

Discussion: The management of EA requires a comprehensive and individualized approach in specialized centres. The cardiologists responsible for the long-term care of these patients are faced with various challenging 'dilemmas' in the clinical course of the disease at different stages. The evolving landscape of cardiology offers a promising avenue for improving the outcomes and quality of life of patients with EA.

Ebstein异常的多面临床描述：一个病例系列。

背景：1866年，Wilhelm Ebstein首次报道了一例由先天性畸形引起的19岁紫绀患者三尖瓣返流的罕见病例。从那时起，Ebstein异常（EA）被认为是一种表现出多种临床病程的疾病，在诊断、管理和预后方面对临床医生构成了巨大的挑战。病例总结：我们提出了4例EA患者的病例系列，揭示了不同的临床表现、治疗方法和结果，强调了这种疾病的多面性。讨论：EA的管理需要在专门的中心采用全面和个性化的方法。负责长期护理这些患者的心脏病专家在疾病的不同阶段的临床过程中面临着各种具有挑战性的“困境”。心脏病学的发展为改善EA患者的预后和生活质量提供了一条有希望的途径。
