Congenital subaortic stenosis - what does this mean
Congenital subaortic stenosis is a condition that is present at birth and is caused by a narrowing of the area below the aortic valve of the heart. this narrowing can lead to obstruction of blood flow, resulting in increased pressure in the left ventricle and, ultimately, heart failure.
What happens during the disease - congenital subaortic stenosis
Congenital subaortic stenosis is a condition where the left ventricular outflow tract (lvot) is narrowed due to an obstruction of the aortic valve. this narrowing of the lvot leads to a decrease in the amount of oxygenated blood that is able to be pumped out of the left ventricle, leading to a decrease in the amount of oxygenated blood that is able to reach the body’s organs and tissues. this can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and an irregular heartbeat.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Echocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Chest X-ray
- Cardiac Catheterization
- Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
- Exercise Stress Test
- Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the obstruction of the left ventricle outflow tract and improve the patient's quality of life.
- Medication to reduce the workload on the heart and to reduce the obstruction
- Surgery to correct the obstruction
- Lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight
- Regular monitoring of the patient's condition
- Counselling to help the patient cope with their condition
- Regular exercise to improve the patient's overall health and reduce the risk of complications
12 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Congenital subaortic stenosis - Prevention
Congenital subaortic stenosis is a birth defect that can be prevented through genetic counseling and pre-natal screening. it is important for expecting parents to understand the risks and discuss their family history with a doctor before becoming pregnant. additionally, pregnant women should receive regular prenatal care to screen for any potential birth defects.
