Abstract We herein present a rare case of severe aortic valve stenosis with a bicuspid valve in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. [link.springer.com]

Conclusions Male patients with BAV present more frequently with moderate AR at first presentation whereas female present more frequently with moderate AS. Furthermore, diffuse dilatation of the aorta was more prevalent in male. [onlinejacc.org]

Cystic medial necrosis present in the aneurysmal wall probably arose as a consequence of poststenotic dilatation. Adequate noninvasive evaluation of the ascending aorta requires echocardiographic studies, as well as a chest X-ray film. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

    The bicuspid aortic valve is associated with abnormalities of the aortic wall such as coarctation of the aorta, aortic dissection, and aortic aneurysm. Most patients with a bicuspid aortic valve will develop some complication during life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    This arrangement is much more common in patients with coarctation of the aorta, whose valves function adequately. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    The main sign of heart valve disease is an unusual heartbeat sound called a heart murmur. Your doctor can hear a heart murmur with a stethoscope. But many people have heart murmurs without having a problem. [icdlist.com]

    Get your heart murmur checked People with heart murmurs are at an increased risk of an aortic valve disease called bicuspid aortic valve disease. [pennmedicine.org]

    A heart murmur was noted during that consultation but not followed up. He later recalled that as a child he underwent annual review for a heart murmur. At age 16 he was reassured and discharged from clinic. [bmj.com]

    A patient with a bicuspid aortic valve usually comes to attention due to the presence of a heart murmur or an abnormal heart sound. There are many other different causes of heart murmurs, including normal causes. [pediatricheartspecialists.com]

    Clinically he had severe aortic regurgitation with a collapsing pulse, positive Corrigan's sign, a loud early diastolic murmur, and additional diastolic deep rumble (Austin Flint murmur). He had evidence of cardiac failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Such pathology may cause leakage from the valve too and with it an early diastolic murmur. The typical murmur of AS is a crescendo-decrescendo systolic ejection murmur shortly after the first heart sound that ends just before the second heart sound. [patient.info]

    A systolic murmur is usually aortic stenosis, while a diastolic murmur indicates aortic insufficiency. A cardiologist confirms the guess with an echocardiogram to determine the severity. [heartlifeinsurance.com]

    Inflating the balloon is meant to fracture some of the calcium deposits on the valve, thus allowing the valve to open more completely, and relieving part of the obstruction. [verywell.com]

  • Dizziness

    Symptoms of a stenotic valve include chest pain, shortness of breath and dizziness or fainting caused by inadequate blood flow to the brain. If the bicuspid valve does not close completely, blood can flow backwards into the heart. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
