Description
Garrett Cotter and co-authors report a heart tracing that pointed the wrong way in a young woman with a repaired heart defect. Their 2026 case report concerns a 19-year-old with tetralogy of Fallot, a classic blue-baby condition. Her tracing suggested her heart sat on the right side of the chest.
Checks confirmed her organs were mirror-reversed, a rare pairing with this defect reported only a few times. She was followed over time as her right ventricle weakened and rhythm problems grew. The authors note the tracing's value in tracking strain after repair. Odd patterns should trigger a hunt for hidden defects, they advise.
