Ebsteins anomaly, named after Wilhelm Ebstein (1836 – 1912) (Figure 20) is a congenital heart defect of the morphological tricuspid valve. The prevalence of Ebstein's anomaly is about 1 in 50.000 – 200.000 with a similar incidence in both males and females. | Ebsteins anomaly, named after Wilhelm Ebstein (1836 – 1912) (Figure 20) is a congenital heart defect of the morphological tricuspid valve.
