A member asked:
Is it possible to tell by echo if a bicuspid aortic valve has been acquired or is congenital and if you have leakage was. it present from the start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some information: It is more likely to be congenital since it is the one of the most common congenital forms of cardiac disorders. It is three times more likely to occur in males. The ECHO is useful in the diagnosis. Genetic mutations in the NOTCH1 gene have been associated with the congenital form of bicuspid aortic valve.
