LVOT morphology detected by TTE

(a) LVOT shape is tubular; (b) LVOT shape is like a trumpet; (c) LVOT shape is like a funnel; (d) LVOT shape is also like a funnel, as there is an obvious muscular bulge in the inner ventricular septum 6 mm below the aortic valve annulus. Here, the trumpet and funnel shapes were classified as non-tubular shapes; therefore, the LVOT in b, c, and d are all referred to as non-tubular shapes

LVOT: ventricular outflow tract; TTE: transthoracic echocardiography
