Abstract
Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a narrowing of the way that conducts blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary ar‑ tery. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a stenosis of the path that leads blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. Combination of right and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a very rare finding. We report a case of a 67‑year‑old male with asymptomatic bi‑ ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, treatment opportunities for the patient based on review of literature and actual recommendations. JRCD 2017; 3 (2): 50–53
期刊介绍:
Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases (JRCD) is an international, quarterly issued, peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that keeps cardiologists and non-cardiologists up-to-date with rare disorders of the heart and vessels. The Journal publishes fine quality review articles, original, basic and clinical sciences research papers, either positive or negative, case reports and articles on public health issues in the field of rare cardiovascular diseases and orphan cardiovascular drugs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following areas: (1) rare diseases of systemic circulation (2) rare diseases of pulmonary circulation (3) rare diseases of the heart (cardiomyopathies) (4) rare congenital cardiovascular diseases (5) rare arrhythmogenic disorders (6) cardiac tumors and cardiovascular diseases in malignancy (7) cardiovascular diseases in pregnancy (8) basic science (9) quality of life
