LVOT stands for the left ventricular outflow tract. LVOT represents the cylindrical region of the left ventricle that leads to the aorta. Its volume is determined by the anterior cusps of the mitral valve and ventricular septum.
LVOT can be visualized with the use of echocardiography Doppler.
We may use LVOT to compute Doppler cardiac output, stroke volume, and Doppler cardiac index.
