Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Definition
Bicuspid aortic valve is a congenital heart condition characterized by the presence of two leaflets in the aortic valve instead of the normal three. This abnormality can lead to improper functioning of the valve, causing it to become narrowed or leaky, potentially resulting in various complications such as aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, or an increased risk of aortic aneurysm.
