Infant echocardiogram images at 125 days. Echocardiogram in a left ventricular long axis view, demonstrating severe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and biventricular hypertrophy (a). Doppler color flow image, displaying turbulence flow through LVOT (b, green arrow). Doppler color flow image in the suprasternal long axis view of the aortic arch, demonstrating low velocity laminar flow through the coarctation of the DAO (c, red arrow). AO: aorta; LA: left atrium; LV: left ventricle; RV: right ventricle; LVOT: left ventricular outflow tract; AOA: aortic arch; and DAO: descending aortic.
