Implication

Highlights variable conduction anatomy by dextrocardia subtype; leaves open arrhythmia ablation strategies in these rare anatomies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
5 hearts with various types of dextrocardia (1 dextroversion, 1 mirror-image dextrocardia, 1 mixed/discordant dextrocardia, 2 presumptive mirror-image dextrocardia with common atrium in situs inversus and common atrioventricular orifice)
I
Intervention
Serial section examination of the conduction system
O
Outcome
Morphology and position of the conduction system (sinoatrial node, atrioventricular nodes, and bundles)surrogate

The anatomy of the conduction system in dextrocardia is highly variable and depends on the specific type of dextrocardia and associated anomalies, often involving dual AV nodes forming a sling.
