47 Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) BAV is frequent (appr. 1% of population) BAV is associated with aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, endocarditis, aortopathy and sudden cardiac death BAV is heritable (appr. 10% of first degree relatives) and family screening can therefore recommended Longterm outcome is mainly related to the degree of valular pathology and dysfunction Aortopathy requires particular attention but intervention should be much less aggressive than in Marfan s syndrome
