Uniatrial but biventricular atrioventricular connection is a rare congenital cardiac abnormality where the left atria-ventricular connection is absent and the right atrio-ventricular connection straddles the crest of the muscular ventricular septum. This anomaly has been referred to as double outlet right atrium and the atrio-ventricular valve as a common atrioventricular valve in the past. In the absence of a primary atrial septal defect, the atrio-ventricular junction is not a common junction and the valve cannot hence be described as a common trio-ventricular valve. We demonstrate this paradox by an illustrative case and contrast this with two other cases where a common atrio-ventricular valve was predominantly committed to the right atrium.

Article Synopsis
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common type of congenital heart disease and often requires surgical intervention.
- The VSD patch closure surgery is crucial not only for simple VSDs but also for more complex congenital heart defects like tetralogy of Fallot and complete atrioventricular septal defect.
- To ensure successful closure without complications, surgeons must have a thorough understanding of VSD anatomy and skillfully perform sutures and ligatures.
Quadricuspid aortic valve in a 16-year-old Quarter horse.

A 16-year-old horse, 400 kg, male, Quarter horse gelding was examined for a cardiac murmur that had not been previously heard. Physical examination revealed a regularly irregular pulse and a grade III/VI, decrescendo, diastolic murmur with a point of maximum intensity over the left heart base. Base-apex standard electrocardiographic examination at rest showed sinus rhythm with second-degree atrio-ventricular blocks.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is preferred therapy for elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and increasingly used in younger patient populations with good safety and efficacy outcomes. However, cardiac conduction abnormalities remain a frequent complication after TAVR ranging from relative benign interventriculair conduction delays to prognostically relevant left bundle branch block and complete atrio-ventricular (AV) block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI). Although clinical, procedural and electrocardiographic factors have been identified as predictors of this complication, there is a need for advanced strategies to control the burden of conduction defects particularly as TAVR shifts towards younger populations.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with morphological and functional alterations of left atrium (LA) and ventricle (LV), possibly inducing LA-LV misalignment. We aimed to: (1) characterize angulation between LA and mitral annulus from conventional cine MRI data and feature-tracking (FT) contours, (2) assess their associations with functional capacity in MR patients, as assessed by oxygen consumption (peak-VO) and minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO) slope, in comparison with MRI LA/LV strain indices. Thirty-two asymptomatic primary MR patients (56 [40; 66] years, 12 women) underwent cardiac MRI resulting in LA/LV conventional FT-derived strain indices.

The degree of both mitral (MR) and tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) correlates with mortality. A vicious cycle has been proposed consisting of increasing regurgitation and decreasing ventricular function. Restoration of valve competence should break this vicious cycle and improve life expectancy.
