ABSTRACT

Aspects of subaortic stenosis are described, using as a basis, the clinical spectrum of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and discrete subaortic stenosis. The anatomy, pathology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for each are summarized. A comparison of outcomes and knowledge gaps between the two conditions is discussed.
