Rheology of discrete subaortic stenosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The discrete form of subaortic stenosis is thought to be an acquired lesion, the aetiology of which may be a combination of factors which include an underlying genetic predisposition, turbulence in the left ventricular outflow tract, and various geometric and anatomical variations of the left ventricular outflow tract. A review of hypotheses relating to its aetiology is provided

Echocardiography in combined discrete and hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.
A 10-year-old boy with discrete subaortic stenosis had coexisting abnormal systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, demonstrated by echocardiography, a sign normally taken as indicating the presence of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. Surgical removal of a fibromuscular diaphragm abolished the echocardiographic signs of discrete subaortic stenosis but abnormal systolic anterior ...

متن کاملDiscrete subaortic stenosis in an adult patient
Discrete subaortic stenosis is an unusual cause of the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in the adults and characterized by a discrete subaortic membrane. A 52-year-old female patient presented with chief complaints of progressive dyspnoea, chest pain and fatigue. Echocardiographic study showed a discrete fibromembranous ridge located in the subaortic region, which resulted in severe s...
متن کاملIncreased Mitral-Aortic Separation
We recently speculated that mitral-aortic separation (MAS) might be increased in discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS). We have examined this hypothesis in 22 heart specimens in which the subaortic obstruction originated on the muscular ventricular septum below the right aortic sinus, either as a discrete band, an accumulation of several bands or a diffuse ridge, and extended posteriorly into the M...
متن کاملMechanism of early systolic closure of the aortic valve in discrete membranous subaortic stenosis.
The mechanism of the apparent early closure of the aortic valve in patients with discrete membranous subaortic stenosis was studied. Discrete membranous subaortic stenosis was simulated in vitro to assess the fluid dynamic characteristics in the region of the aortic valve that may be responsible for the early closure. In the presence of a simulated fixed membranous subaortic obstruction, early ...
