Patients typically young women (less than 40-year-old), who remain asymptomatic for long time. often diagnosed incidentally, during screening examination. Radical correction such dysfunction can achieved only using surgical techniques. Based on echocardiography findings, two types distinguished: classical thickening non-classical — without its (presumably associated dysplasia tissue).
