Question 1

is my subaortic stenosis a serious problem? the report said: severe lvot obstruction. av : thin mobile av,gradient 66.4mmhg(mean) and peak of 127mmhg.

Accepted Answer

Subaortic stenosis Gradient 66.4mmHg: You have a congenital condition. Surgery is the only option to decrease the gradient, you have over 50 mm Hg gradient, therefore you are above the recommended gradient. Do you Have a cardiologist, and did not recommended surgery?. See a cardiac surgeon, there are new per-cutaneous techniques via the femoral artery, see if you qualify. The only option for you is surgery.

Question 2

is idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis for ablations safe?

Accepted Answer

Find the right dr: I believe you're referring to alcohol septal ablation, where alcohol is instilled into coronary artery to kill muscle that, due to genetic disease, has grown out of control. The procedure has a steep learning curve, with a fine line between achieving the desired result and damaging adjacent healthy tissue. An experienced physician is crucial--ballpark figure is at least 100-200 prior procedures.

Question 3

what is the genome for idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Autosomal Dominant: Ihss is caused by mutations in sarcomere genes and is the most common monogenic cardiovascular disorder.

Question 4

how does preload affect the loudness of the murmur of subaortic stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Nice question!: Excellent - physiology at work! in subaortic stenosis, it is basically the muscular component of left ventricular outflow tract which is narrow. With increased preload - greater blood in lv - this stretches the muscle and allows for easier exit through the lvot and softer sound of murmur.

Question 5

what is scientific definition of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis ?

Accepted Answer

Obstruction: Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, or ihss derives from an unknown etiology. Usually the muscle along the left ventricular outflow tract, beneath the aortic valve grows in size. It then can affect the flow of blood out of the heart because it forms an obstruction. The degree of obstruction correlates to symptoms and the degree of severity of the condition.

Question 6

is subaortic stenosis a muscluar dystrophy? my little sister has subaortic stenosis and im doing a project on muscular dystrophy and is wondering

Accepted Answer

No it is not.: Subaortic stenosis does not appear to occur more commonly in individuals with muscular dystrophy.

Question 7

dr heard small murmur.went to cardiologist and echo/doppler was normal. he says its innocent. what about things it can miss, like subaortic stenosis?
would the doppler have picked it up?

Accepted Answer

Echo is reliable: More likely than not the echo is correct and the murmur if present was an artifact.

Question 8

does a normal echocardiogram rule out hypertrophic subaortic stenosis as a possible diagnosis in patients with significant heart murmur?

Accepted Answer

Cause of murmur: Normal echo rules out  hypertrophic  sub aortic stenosis.

Your murmur is innocent,functional  murmur.

Discuss with your cardiologist.

Question 9

how serious is subaortic vsd (1.1 cm)? the mitral and tricuspid valves show redundant leaflets with evidences of prolapse and the left ventricle is slightly dilated.

Accepted Answer

Requires surgery: Assuming we are talking about an infant: a vsd of this size is large enough to warrant open heart surgical repair in infancy. Dilation of the left ventricle with congestive heart failure due to pulmonary over-circulation is expected. If it is repaired early, it is hoped that the effect on the valves will be minimal, and there should be a good prognosis.

Question 10

l5 and s 1 stenosis. is it a permanent condition?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Lumbar stenosis is typically does not resolve on its own. It usually from hypertrophied ligaments or bones. If, however, stenosis is secondary to a herniated disc, this may resolve on its own. Discs have a fluid-like component which can dessicate over time, and as the disc dries up it lifts pressure off the nerve roots.
