Severe cardiomegaly with an atrial septal defect was discovered during necropsy of a subadult White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) found dead in the wild. A thin membrane composed of fibromuscular tissue separated the left atrium into two chambers, most consistent with that described for cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) in other species. Seventeen months later, necropsy of an adult White-tailed Eagle again revealed CTS. This lesion has not been reported previously in raptors.
剖检一只在野外死亡的未成年白尾海雕时发现其严重的心腔肿大，并伴有房间隔缺损。一层由纤维肌肉组织构成的薄膜将左心房分隔成两个腔室，这与其他物种描述的左心房间隔三房心（CTS）最为一致。17 个月后，剖检另一只成年白尾海雕时再次发现 CTS。此前，猛禽中尚未有报道过这种病变。
