Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Anomalies: Echocardiographic Evaluation

Abstract

The left ventricular outflow is divided into subvalvar area, the aortic valve and supra valvar region. There can occur a number of anomalies in the outflow tract, most commonly of which are obstructive lesions, which can exist in isolation or as a part of association with other defects such as ventricular septal defects or interrupted arch. The following chapter highlights on echocardiography imaging of the left ventricular outflow tract and its anomalies.
