Hypoplastic left heart syndrome 2

Summary

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome results from defective development of the aorta proximal to the entrance of the ductus arteriosus and hypoplasia of the left ventricle and mitral valve. As a result of the abnormal circulation, the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale are patent and the right atrium, right ventricle, and pulmonary artery are enlarged (Brekke, 1953). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, see HLHS1 (241550). [from OMIM]
