Abstract
Left ventricular hypoplasia is a common finding in various forms of congenital heart disease. Echocardiography in the setting of left ventricular hypoplasia must comprehensively assess the size and function of all left-sided structures including the mitral valve, left ventricular outflow tract, aortic valve and aortic arch. Of most importance in any variation of left ventricular hypoplasia is the left ventricular inlet. In neonates, the left ventricular inlet often determines the adequacy of the left ventricle and is the most difficult component to treat surgically.
