Ventricular inversion, also known as atrioventricular discordance, is a condition in which the anatomic right ventricle of the heart is on the left side of the interventricular septum and the anatomic left ventricle is on the right.

Congenital heart defects (Q20-Q24, 745-746)

Cardiac shunt/
heart septal defect

Aortopulmonary septal defect	R→L: Double outlet right ventricle (Taussig-Bing syndrome) · Transposition of the great vessels (dextro, levo) · Persistent truncus arteriosus Aortopulmonary window
Atrial septal defect	L→R: Sinus venosus atrial septal defect · Lutembacher's syndrome
Ventricular septal defect	L→R and R→L: Eisenmenger's syndrome R→L, with other conditions: Tetralogy of Fallot
Atrioventricular septal defect	L→R: Ostium primum

Valvular heart disease/
heart chambers

Right	pulmonary valves (stenosis, insufficiency) · tricuspid valves (stenosis, atresia, Ebstein's anomaly) · Hypoplastic right heart syndrome
Left	aortic valves (stenosis, insufficiency, bicuspid) · mitral valves (stenosis, regurgitation) · Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
