Ebstein's malformation in the setting of Down's syndrome.
We report a patient with Down's syndrome referred to our Department of Echocardiography for evaluation after an episode of tachyarrhythmia. We diagnosed Ebstein's malformation. As far as we know, this association has been reported previously on only three occasions. We review these previous cases, describe our echocardiographic techniques, and discuss our experience.
