Ebstein's anomaly occurs when the tricuspid valve fails to develop normally while the baby is in the womb.Many children with Ebstein's anomaly do very well with little or no
treatment required. If symptoms of congestive heart failure develop,
medications such as digoxin or lasix may be used. In some patients,
however, heart surgery is needed.

Are you a wine enthusiast? |  |
Colby Red is a delicious red wine dedicated to raising funds for cardiac research.
This wine is named in honor of Colby Rex Groom, son of Winemaker Daryl Groom and his wife Lisa, who was born with an Atrial Septal Defect, or "hole," in his heart. After two open-heart surgeries to repair a defective heart valve, Colby now has a St. Jude Medical valve, and is living a healthy and happy life. This wine represents the Groom family's efforts to use their passion for winemaking and viticulture to give back for the help and support Colby received.
