A bicuspid aortic valve is the most common cardiac congenital anomaly and is considered a connective tissue disorder. The incidence is 1-2% in the general population and it is the most common cause of aortic valve stenosis in people age 70 or less. Aortic regurgitation can also result from a bicspid aortic valve. The aortic valve is normally tricuspid or trileaflet. When two of the cusps are fused together, the valve becomes functionally “bicuspid”. Most commonly, the right and left coronary cusps are fused and least commonly the left and noncoronary bicuspid aortic valve murmur cusps are fused. This results over time in increased wear of the leaflets since the hemodynamic stress is distributed to only two cusps instead of three. Aortic valve stenosis or aortic valve regurgitation result. An ascending aortic aneurysm frequently develops concomitantly. A systolic ejection click frequently indicates a bicuspid aortic valve. This sound is heard just after the 1st heart sound (S1). Usually, the opening of the aortic valve is not audible, however with a bicuspid aortic valve the leaflets “dome” suddenly prior to opening which creates a systolic ejection click.
