Implication

Echocardiography may aid detection of discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis; leaves open need for prospective validation in larger cohorts.

Key Points

The aim is to describe echocardiographic findings in patients with discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis.
Presented echocardiographic features of three patients
Described narrowed area of left ventricular outflow tract below aortic valve
Highlighted abnormalities in aortic cusp motion in one patient.
All patients showed a narrowed left ventricular outflow tract
One patient exhibited a high-intensity thin echo at the mitral annulus
Abnormal aortic cusp motion was suggested in one case.

Intervention

Echocardiography

Outcome

Echocardiographic features of discrete subvalvular aortic stenosissurrogate

Echocardiography can identify specific anatomical features of discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis, such as left ventricular outflow tract narrowing and subaortic diaphragms.
