An elderly man is brought to the clinic because he fatigues extremely easily. An examination reveals a heart murmur associated with the bicuspid valve during ventricular systole. What is the diagnosis? What is the possible treatment?
The diagnosis is Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease and it is confirmed with an echocardiogram usually along with hearing the heart murmur. There isn’t a magical treatment but usually a valve repair or replacement will occur!
