title: Morphological determinants of subaortic stenosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: insights from real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography.
abstract: Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography allows a comprehensive evaluation of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The anterior segment of the anterior mitral leaflet is essential in the development of the LVOT pressure gradient.
