Epstein's Anomaly

The primary abnormality in Epstein’s Anomaly is of the tricuspid valve, the valve which lies between the right atrium and right ventricle. While there is free flow of blood forward across the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, the deformed tricuspid valve allows a large amount of blood to flow backwards from the right ventricle to right atrium when the right ventricle contracts.
