How serious is a bicuspid aortic valve?

About 1 in 3 people with a bicuspid aortic valve develop complications. They can be very serious or even fatal. That’s why people diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve disease need ongoing medical checkups and testing.

You might not feel any symptoms until the disease has progressed far or you have a medical emergency. But imaging tests can catch subtle changes before you even notice symptoms. And advances in treatment can help you live a long and healthy life.
