Abstract
The eccentric LVOT shape leads to a distinct underestimation of its area with two-dimensional measurements. LVOT eccentricity is less distinct in patients with low ejection fractions and higher end-systolic volumes. LVOT width is decreased through annuloplasty rings and prostheses, and the smaller the implanted device, the more profound the reduction.
