Bicuspid aortic valv: This is a congenital anomaly of the aortic valve that may result in calcification of the valve with narrowing in his 50's. Discuss with your physician if there are any restrictions on activity and discuss prophylactic antibiotics with dental procedures. He should be followed by a pediatric cardiologist for now.

See Ped cardiologist: Bicuspid aortic valve is probably a coincidental finding in this case as it doesn't cause fast heart rate. However the valve can become stenotic (obstructive) or leaky, and there maybe other associated problems such as aortic arch abnormality or enlargement of the aortic root, so you will need eval and f/u w a peds cardiologist. Restrictions are based on presence or absence of assoc. Findings.
