Double Inlet Left Ventricle
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Double inlet left ventricle is a rare congenital heart condition in which the two upper chambers of the heart, the atria, empty into a single ventricle, almost always the left one. This alters the way blood circulates through the heart from birth.
How it shows up: it is usually detected in babies and can cause bluish coloring of the skin, difficulty breathing, tiredness while feeding, and poor weight gain.
When to investigate it? When a newborn has a bluish tint, marked fatigue, or a heart murmur, a specialized evaluation is warranted.
Which specialists treat it? The pediatric cardiologist studies the heart's anatomy, the pediatrician supports the child, and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon takes part in its correction. Because of its complexity, the essential thing is for these professionals to evaluate the baby as soon as possible.
