Question

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?

Answer 1

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!
