24 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common (0.5-2.0% of general population) congenital heart defect with increased prevalence of aortic dilatation and dissection.BAV has an autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance and variable expressivity.BAV has been described as an isolated trait or associated with syndromic conditions [e.g. Marfan or Loeys-Dietz syndrome (MFS, LDS)].Identification of a syndromic...
