Learn what a bicuspid aortic valve is, how it affects heart function, and the signs, tests and treatments at CHOP. What is bicuspid aortic valve?The heart has four chambers and four valves. Blood passes through a valve before leaving each chamber of the heart. Heart valves are made of flaps of tissue called leaflets. These leaflets work like one-way doors, opening to let blood move forward and closing to keep blood from flowing backward. The heart’s lower chambers are called ventricles. The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve and into the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Blood travels from the aorta to blood vessels throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. A healthy aortic valve has three thin leaflets. A bicuspid aortic valve has two leaflets. These leaflets may be thick and can cause the aortic valve to be too narrow.If the bicuspid aortic valve is too narrow (called aortic stenosis), it can block blood flowing out of the heart. This causes the heart to work harder to pump enough blood to the body. Aortic stenosis can range from mild to severe.If the leaflets of the aortic valve don’t close all the way, some blood can leak back into the left ventricle. This is called aortic regurgitation, (also known as aortic valve regurgitation or aortic valve insufficiency). Aortic regurgitation can range from mild to severe.Sometimes, the walls of the aorta can become thin or too wide (dilated). This condition needs to be monitored by your cardiologist. Signs and symptoms of bicuspid aortic valveIf your child has mild aortic stenosis or mild aortic regurgitation, they may not experience symptoms, especially in infants or young children. If your child has progressive aortic stenosis or regurgitation, they may experience some or all of these symptoms:FatigueA heart murmur, which is an abnormal heart sound when a doctor listens with a stethoscopeSometimes, symptoms
