  • Title: Painless acute aortic dissection presenting as echocardiographically diagnosed left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
    Author: Ascione L, Accadia M, Damiano L, Rumolo S, De Michele M, Tuccillo B.
    Journal: Ital Heart J; 2002 Dec; 3(12):752-4. PubMed ID: 12611129.
    Abstract:
    We present an unusual case of painless acute aortic dissection with an atypical echocardiographic presentation that could be confused with an aortic stenosis. Transesophageal echocardiography excluded the presence of aortic stenosis and disclosed a systolic anterior movement of the mitral valve as the cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It also revealed a type A aortic dissection.
