Abstract
Univentricular heart (UH) is a rare group of congenital heart disease characterized by the atrial chambers connects with one ventricular chamber. The most frequent UH is double inlet morphologically left ventricle with the discordant ventriculo-arterial connection. The main diagnostic methods are echocardiography, angiocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. In humans, heart transplantation is a radical method of surgical treatment. Palliative surgical management is different based on the underlying anatomy and include 2 or 3 stage defect correction with the exclusion of the rudimentary ventricle from the circulation. The focus of therapy is to management heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. The article describes the stages of diagnosis and treatment of UH in a Maine Coon.
