- Shone's Complex
- Mild left ventricular hypoplasia
- Hypoplastic mitral valve
- Hypoplastic aortic valve
- Dilated right ventricle
- Shone's Complex
- Flow turbulence noted across the mitral and aortic valves
- Hypoplastic mitral valve
- Hypoplastic aortic valve
The parasternal long axis view is a good view to assess the size of the left ventricle in addition to the left ventricular outflow tract for the presence of a subaortic membrane. The mitral valve can also be evaluated to assess for hypoplasia and/or the presence of a supravalvar mitral ring or a parachute mitral valve as can be seen in the setting of Shone's complex.
