A rare congenital condition involving duplication or doubling of heart structures or chambers.
From Greek 'diplos' (double) and 'kardia' (heart), literally describing a 'double heart' or heart with duplicated structures.
While complete heart duplication is extremely rare and usually incompatible with life, partial diplocardia reveals how the embryonic heart develops—watching nature's blueprint fail teaches us how it normally succeeds.
