Congenital Heart Defects: Hypoplastic Right Ventricle

The right ventricle is small and weak because the tricuspid valve guiding the blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle did not open in the very early embryonic weeks of the baby's life, and so no blood came through to make the right ventricle grow. This condition is also called Hypoplastic Right Heart.
