Abstract

Left ventricular-right atrial communication (LV-RAC) refers to the shunt from the left ventricle to the right atrium caused by an abnormal channel between the left ventricle and the right atrium, and is a specific type of ventricular septal defect that is rare. We diagnosed one case using echocardiography.

Keywords: congenital heart disease; echocardiography; left ventricular‐right atrial communication.
