Ebstein’s Anomaly is a rare heart defect that is present at birth (congenital). It primarily affects the tricuspid valve, which separates the right atrium (upper heart chamber) from the right ventricle (lower heart chamber). In Ebstein’s Anomaly, the tricuspid valve is abnormally formed and positioned lower than normal in the right ventricle. This malformation can cause the valve to work improperly, leading to blood leaking back into the right atrium when the heart contracts.
