Analysis of the right parietal junction in four hearts revealed only two accessory muscular atrioventricular connections. A plane of fibrofatty tissue separated atrial from ventricular myocardium in the right parietal junction in all hearts. The compact atrioventricular node was closer to the coronary sinus than usual. Accessory nodoventricular connections were present in four hearts, while accessory fasciculo-ventricular connections were found in one. The right bundle branch was hypoplastic or absent in four hearts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this small series, the parietal atrioventricular junction was better developed than previously thought. Structural abnormalities of the atrioventricular conduction system, however, were present. These may account for some of the conduction abnormalities frequently observed with the Ebstein malformation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/heart.83.4.444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T06:37:59Z","timestamp":1027751879000},"page":"444-449","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["The atrioventricular junctions in Ebstein malformation"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"S Y","family":"Ho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatrics, National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Campus, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Dovehouse Street, London SW3 6LY, UK, \n\nbFetal and Perinatal Cardiology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1, UK, \n\ncDepartment of Anatomy, Institute of Child Health at Alder Hey, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Goltz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatrics, National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Campus, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Dovehouse Street, London SW3 6LY, UK, \n\nbFetal and Perinatal Cardiology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1, UK, \n\ncDepartment of Anatomy, Institute of Child Health at Alder Hey, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K","family":"McCarthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatrics, National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Campus, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Dovehouse Street, London SW3 6LY, UK, \n\nbFetal and Perinatal Cardiology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1, UK, \n\ncDepartment of Anatomy, Institute of Child Health at Alder Hey, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A C","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatrics, National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Campus, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Dovehouse Street, London SW3 6LY, UK, \n\nbFetal and Perinatal Cardiology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1, UK, \n\ncDepartment of Anatomy, Institute of Child Health at Alder Hey, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M G","family":"Connell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatrics, National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Campus, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Dovehouse Street, London SW3 6LY, UK, \n\nbFetal and Perinatal Cardiology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1, UK, \n\ncDepartment of Anatomy, Institute of Child Health at Alder Hey, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatrics, National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Campus, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Dovehouse Street, London SW3 6LY, UK, \n\nbFetal and Perinatal Cardiology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1, UK, \n\ncDepartment of Anatomy, Institute of Child Health at Alder Hey, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R H","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatrics, National Heart and Lung Institute, Royal Brompton Campus, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Dovehouse Street, London SW3 6LY, UK, \n\nbFetal and Perinatal Cardiology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1, UK, \n\ncDepartment of Anatomy, Institute of Child Health at Alder Hey, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025101723333334000_83.4.444.1","unstructured":"Ebstein W (1866) Ueber einen sehr seltenen Fall von Insuffizienz der Valvula tricuspidalis, bedingt durch eine angeborene hochgradige Missbildung derselben.
