IN TE MAJORITY of patients with obstruc-tion to left ventricular outflow the respon-sible anatomic lesion is found to be stenosis of the aortic valve, a discrete fibrous subvalvular membrane or, more rarely, a constriction in the ascending aorta immediately above the valve. Recent reports from this and other clinics, however, have called at-tention to another and hitherto unrecognized form of obstruction termed idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.***** In this malformation there is massive hypertrophy of the left ventricular myocardium, particularly in the area of the interventric-ular septum. During ventricular systole the outflow tract of the ventricle narrows to such an extent that resistance to left ven-tricular ejection occurs and a systolic pres-sure gradient develops within the ventricle. At the National Heart Institute the diagno-sis of hypertrophic subaortic stenosis has been established in 15 patients and a de-tailed description of the clinical, hemodynamic and angiographic findings in them has been presented elsewhere.* Although the lesion has been encountered unexpect-edly in several patients undergoing opera-tions for what was considered to be one of the usual forms of aortic stenosis, it has been generally considered that resec-tion of the hypertrophic muscle is not feasi-ble and that this form of subaortic stenosis is, therefore, not amenable to surgical treatment.
