While bicuspid aortic valves are known to be associated with aortic dilation and dissection, the risk of dissection in this population has recently been called into question. Michelena and ...

Approximately 2% of the population is born with a bicuspid aortic valve ... Two-dimensional echocardiography can demonstrate a thickened aortic valve, reduced leaflet mobility and concentric ...

The bicuspid valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle and prevents back flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium. It likewise opens due to a build-up of pressure, this time in the ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome region known as 22q11.2 , which involves genes that regulate cardiac development, are linked to nonsyndromic bicuspid aortic valve disease.

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and opens due to a build-up of pressure in the right atrium. The bicuspid valve is located between the left atrium and ...
