Abstract
Dear Readers, Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is a pleasure to deliver at your hand the next (already the fourth!) issue of your quarterly Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases. We are happy that, with your continued submissions, we are able to publish the journal regularly, and that the Journal has established its natural presence in the family of cardiovascular journals. Fulfilling the principal aim of the Journal, the submissions to this issue have been accepted on a key basis of their relevance to your expanding knowledge and management of your Rare Cardiovascular Disease (RCD) patients. We begin with a review on Ebstein anomaly by a prominent paediatric cardiac surgeon, Dr Jacek Pajak, who performed complex surgeries in a some key centers in the world prior to taking the position of the Head of Paeditric Cardiac Sugery in the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice. Ebstein anomaly patients pose significant decision‑making challenges in every‑day clinical practice of RCD.
