Is exercise bad for a bicuspid aortic valve patient?

Can be: At times, because a bicuspid aortic valve is associated with either aortic insufficiency, aortic stenosis, chest pain and shortness of breath. This patient should avoid strenuous exercise. Usually will lead to aortic valve replacement by the age of 45-60.
