Cor triatriatum, Latin for “heart with 3 atria,” is a rare congenital heart defect in which a thin, fibromuscular membrane divides the right or left atrium into 3 atrial compartments. Infants are typically diagnosed during the first year of life; however, in some cases, this disease is not diagnosed until adulthood. Patients may present with cough, dyspnea, wheezing, pulmonary congestion, tachycardia, heart murmur, palpitations, pallor, and failure to thrive. This condition requires surgical management, or heart failure may develop due to complications such as recurrent pneumonia and bronchial inflammation. This activity reviews the clinical evaluation of cor triatriatum and the role of the healthcare professional team in coordinating the care of affected patients.
