Disease relevance of Levocardia

• We describe a rare case of right atrial isomerism, levocardia, right-side stomach, obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, double outlet right ventricle with complete atrioventricular septal defect and absent spleen [1].
• Isolated levocardia associated with absence of inferior vena cava, lobulated spleen and sick sinus syndrome. A case report [2].
• By physical and laboratory examinations, levocardia, atrial inversion, primum ASD, single atrioventricular valve, single ventricle (left-hand morphology), rudimentary right ventricle (anterior, left-sided), pulmonary stenosis, left-sided vena cava, single vena cava superior were established and the case was diagnosed with asplenia syndrome [3].

High impact information on Levocardia

• We present the case of an infant with horseshoe lung but with hypoplasia of the left lung and levocardia that was not associated with the scimitar syndrome [4].
• Usefulness of cardiac transplantation in children with visceral heterotaxy (asplenic and polysplenic syndromes and single right-sided spleen with levocardia) and comparison of results with cardiac transplantation in children with dilated cardiomyopathy [5].
• In general, it is accepted that cardiac rhythm disorder is frequently observed in cases of isolated levocardia and/or absence of inferior vena cava [2].
