Computerkardiotomographie der idiopathischen hypertrophen subvalvulären Aortenstenose (IHSS) — ein neuartiger Beitrag zur nicht-invasiven Diagnostik*

The use of computer tomography as a non-invasive procedure in the diagnosis of idiopathic hypertrophic subvalvular aortic stenosis is described. Seven patients were investigated in whom the diagnosis had been confirmed by echocardiography and laevocardiography with pressure measurements. Details of the method are discussed and computer tomography and echocardiography are compared. The features of greatest differential diagnostic importance relating to asymmetrical septum hypertrophy are discussed.
