Asymptomatic quadricuspid aortic valve [PDF]
A 45-year-old man with isolated hypertension underwent routine echocardiography. Transthoracic examination revealed left ventricular concentric hypertrophy, mild tricuspid regurgitation and images suggestive of a bicuspid aortic valve. Transesophageal examination revealed a quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) with normal coronary origin (four sinuses of ...

The bicuspid aortic valve - studies on valve morphology and pathology in relation to ascending aortic dilatation and coronary artery disease [PDF]
The prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is 1 - 2% and is thereby the most common cardiac malformation. BAV is highly associated with valvular dysfunction and aortic co nditions such as ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic ...

The quadricuspid aortic valve is a very rare congenital defect that may be an isolated entity or associated with a multitude of cardiovascular abnormalities. Isolated cases usually manifest late in life with the complication of aortic regurgitation, which can be delayed by early valve replacement.

Cardiovascular computed tomography for the detection of quadricuspid aortic valve: A case report
Aortic regurgitation (AR) represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Due to its low cost and widespread availability, echocardiography remains the frontline for aortic valve (AV) assessment. However, poor sonographic windows may limit the
