Résumé

Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve (EA) is an uncommon congenital cardiac malformation. It can present with atrioventricular tachycardia (AVRT), atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), atrial arrhythmias, and rarely with ventricular tachycardia. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is critically important and often diagnostic even prior to an electrophysiology study (EPS). Due to its complex anatomy, it poses particular challenges for mapping and ablation, even for an experienced electrophysiologist. In this review, we aim to provide insight into the electrophysiological perspective of EA and an in-depth analysis of the various arrhythmias encountered in diverse clinical scenarios.
