Article Synopsis
- The text describes a case study involving a 35-year-old male patient with tetralogy of Fallot who had a palliative surgery in 1992.
- The focus is on the classic Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt, a surgical procedure used for heart conditions.
- The authors highlight that the echocardiographic images presented in this case are rarely seen in contemporary practice.
• LVD can rarely present in the subaortic position. • A muscular LVD has synchronous contraction; an aneurysm does not. • Subaortic LVD may be associated with aortic regurgitation, thrombus, and arrhythmia.

We aimed to determine the feasibility and reproducibility for echocardiographic-derived GMW in a healthy pediatric population; establish normal reference values; and investigate the influence of age, gender, and other clinical factor on normal reference ranges. We prospectively enrolled 212 individuals (median age of 9 years; interquartile range, 6 to 12 years, 112 female).
