Medical Conditions - Bicuspid Aortic Valve

The bicuspid aortic valve is a congenital heart condition where there are two flaps in the valve instead of three. This leads to obstruction and narrowing of the aortic valve opening, which makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood. Chest pain, shortness of breath, etc., are the symptoms. Surgery like valve replacement, balloon valvoplasty, etc., are done.
