Rino’s Story Begins On the 4th of August 2000, Rino Mangon Vogt was born in Koh Samui, Thailand. Unbeknown to his parents, he had been born with a rare congenital heart condition..Ebsteins Anomaly www.rinosheart.com

Ebstein’s Anomaly : 

Ebstein’s Anomaly Ebstein's anomaly is a condition in which the valve between your right heart chambers (tricuspid valve) is malformed and sits lower than normal in the lower-right heart chamber (right ventricle). Because the tricuspid valve is malformed, it doesn't function properly. As a result, blood may leak backwards into the right atrium, leading to enlargement of the right heart chambers. The heart chambers weaken as they enlarge, leading to irregular heartbeats, fatigue, heart failure and stroke. www.rinosheart.com

Rino’s condition is diagnosed :
