Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The bicuspid aortic valve, also referred to as bicommissural, is a variation in which this heart valve forms with two leaflets instead of the usual three, which can alter the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
How it shows up: In many people it causes no discomfort and is discovered during a checkup; over time it can be associated with changes in the functioning of the valve.
Why it is monitored: Regular follow-up helps observe its progression and detect any change in a timely manner.
Which specialists treat it? The bicommissural aortic valve is assessed by the cardiologist and, in minors, by the pediatric cardiologist; the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon may step in when the case requires it. If you have been told about this finding, it is advisable to keep up your checkups with a professional.
