Cor triatriatum - what does this mean

Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart defect, where the left atrium is divided into two chambers by a membrane. this results in a decrease in blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle, leading to an increased risk of heart failure.

What happens during the disease - cor triatriatum

Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart defect in which the left atrium of the heart is divided into two separate chambers by an anomalous membrane. this membrane can cause a partial obstruction of blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle, resulting in increased pressure in the left atrium, decreased cardiac output, and reduced oxygenation of the body's tissues. if left untreated, cor triatriatum can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke.
