HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Underdevelopment of the left side of the heart. May include atresia of the aortic or mitral orifice and hypoplasia of the ascending aorta.
Comment:Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is an unsatisfactory term describing lethal underdevelopment of the left ventricle (LV). It represents the more severe end of a spectrum of LV hypoplasia, mandating single-ventricle palliation or cardiac transplantation. Less severe borderline ventricular hypoplasia may instead allow various biventricular therapeutic strategies and better long-term outcomes.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Heart left ventricle hypoplasia;   Left ventricular hypoplasia;   Underdeveloped left heart
