The 20 Best Cor Triatriatum Doctors Near Me in whitesburg, KY

Cor triatriatum is an extremely rare congenital (present at birth) heart defect. The human heart normally has four chambers, two ventricles and two atria. The two atria are normally separated from each other by a partition called the atrial septum and the two ventricles by the ventricle septum. In Cor triatriatum there is a small extra chamber above the left atrium (Cor triatriatum sinistrum) or right atrium (Cor triatriatum dextrum). In children, Cor triatriatum may be associated with major congenital cardiac problems. In adults, it is often an isolated finding.
