Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most common congenital heart defect, characterized by the presence of only two leaflets in the aortic valve instead of the normal three. This condition ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Through this process he discovered that he had been born with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) leading to an enlarged left ventricle. A (BAV) is an inherited form of heart disease in which two of the ...
