- Our desk filed its story
CBS News reported that a man identified as Perez was diagnosed in his 70s with cor triatriatum, a rare congenital heart condition usually found in infancy1.
The network said a membrane grows in one of the heart's upper atria and splits it in two, leaving five chambers instead of four1. Without treatment, it said, the defect can cause pulmonary hypertension — high pressure in the arteries from the heart to the lungs — and irregular rhythms that can become life-threatening1.
