How do i know i have supravalve aortic stenosis?

CAT scan: Cta thorax, cardiac MRI will show if that is the case. As well as an echocardiogram to assess the integrity of the valve. True supravalvar aortic stenosis is a congenital anomaly usually requiring surgical correction during infancy.

Echo: Ask your doctor to order an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart).

Supravalvular: Supravalvar aortic stenosis should not be confused with valvar stensosis. Supravalvar stenosis implies lack of growth of the aorta itself and sometimes is associated with williams syndrome. This has a congenital association. Valvar stenosis and supravalvar can usually be identified by echocardiography but may require invasive testing such as angiocardiography.
