What does it mean when your aortic is dysplastic, probably 2 cusps.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aortic valve: Is one of the heart valves and commonly has three delicate cusps that open and close with cardiac cycle and flow. There are congenital anomalies of bicuspid valve and these may thicken and be abnormal on echo and produce aortic stenosis and symptoms over time.
