Key result
Systematic evaluation of visceroatrial situs and cardiac configuration predicts associated congenital heart disease patterns.
Why the study?
Accurate determination of visceroatrial situs is essential because anomalies of situs are associated with increased incidence of complex congenital heart disease.
A methodical diagnostic approach to visceroatrial situs is essential for predicting complex congenital heart disease.

May aid systematic situs evaluation in congenital heart disease; extends anatomic literature but leaves prospective validation open.
OBJECTIVE: Visceroatrial situs refers to the position and configuration of the cardiac atria, the tracheobronchial tree, and the thoracoabdominal viscera. Accurate determination of situs is essential because anomalies of situs are associated with an increased incidence of complex congenital heart disease. CONCLUSION: We propose a methodical diagnostic approach to determining the visceroatrial situs and cardiac configuration that predicts the probability and types of associated congenital heart disease.

Ghosh et al. (2009) conducted a review in Anomalies of visceroatrial situs and congenital heart disease. Methodical diagnostic approach was evaluated. A methodical diagnostic approach to determining visceroatrial situs and cardiac configuration can predict the probability and types of associated congenital heart disease.
