JACC Case Rep. 2023 Jun 12:18:101916. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2023.101916. eCollection 2023 Jul 19.

Abstract

Subaortic stenosis secondary to subaortic membrane is the second most common form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We present the case of a 70-year-old male patient who presented with a 6-week history of progressive signs of heart failure. Multimodality imaging was required to confirm the presence of a subaortic membrane. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Keywords: aortic stenosis; heart failure; left ventricular outflow obstruction; subaortic membrane.
