Heart Health Series Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: George Wang, M.D. Bicuspid aortic valve is a relatively common congenital heart disease. It can be associated with other genetic disorders such as Turner’s Syndrome or exist as an isolated entity. In most cases, patients with a bicuspid aortic valve are initially asymptomatic; however later in the course, they may develop symptoms related to a subsequent aortic stenosis or regurgitation. It’s also associated with a dilated ascending aorta with potential rupture if unrecognized. Therefore, it’s in the patient’s best interest to diagnose the condition as early as possible. What are the early symptoms and when should we suspect the patient may have a bicuspid aortic valve? What type of surveillance should be performed and when is surgery indicated? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. George Wang, a cardiologist in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Arizona Campus of the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease”.
