aim:the early detection of bicuspid aortiv valve for preventation of it complication
The The aortic valve has three cusps. These cusps are half moon shaped hence also called aortic semilunar valve. Each cusp has a small swelling in the center called the noduleThe most common congenital abnormality of the heart is the bicuspid aortic valve. In this condition, instead of three cusps, the aortic valve has two cusps. This condition is often undiagnosed until later in life when the person develops symptomatic aortic stenosis. Aortic stenosis occurs in this condition usually in patients in their 40s or 50s, an average of 10 years earlier than can occur in people with congenitally normal aortic valves
we studid it in 10 patient with bicuspid aortic valve and we found the choromosomal deletion in 6 chorosome has more incidence in these patients
