A congenital anomaly in which the left ventricle is either very small or missing, the most common lethal condition in congenital heart disease. It is characterized by respiratory distress and extreme cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes caused from inadequate oxygenation of the blood), with cardiac failure and death in early infancy.
