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 ...

A dobutamine stress echocardiography study. Combination of an extremely rare and a common congenital valvular anomalies: Accessory mitral valve chordae from left atrium and bicuspid aortic valve.

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 ...

Objective In this study, the impact of regular training on left ventricle morphology in a group of athletes with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) was evaluated. Design Longitudinal cohort study. A group of ...

Bicuspid aortic valve disease, where the aortic valve has two leaflets instead of the normal three, is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting up to 2% of the population.
