Aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by an abnormal communication between aorta and left ventricular cavity and the child presents with features of congestive heart failure in early infancy. We report the case of a 7-day-old baby who was diagnosed as a case of ALVT by echocardiography. The child was operated successfully and echocardiographic findings were confirmed.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
