A bicuspid aortic valve is a variant in which the heart's aortic valve forms with two leaflets instead of the usual three. It is usually present from birth and, in many cases, is detected on cardiac studies.

What is it? It is a difference in the structure of the valve that regulates the flow of blood out of the heart into the aorta; over time it may influence how that valve works.

Common symptoms: it often causes no discomfort for years; when symptoms appear, they may include fatigue, shortness of breath with exertion, or a sensation of noticeable heartbeats.

Which specialist manages it? The cardiologist provides follow-up in adults and the pediatric cardiologist in childhood, with the support of the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon if it becomes necessary. Regular monitoring with these professionals helps keep track of its progression calmly.
