Article Abstract

This International evidence-based nomenclature and classification consensus on the congenital bicuspid aortic valve and its aortopathy recognizes 3 types of bicuspid aortic valve: 1. Fused type, with 3 phenotypes: right-left cusp fusion, right-non cusp fusion and left-non cusp fusion; 2. 2-sinus type with 2 phenotypes: Latero-lateral and antero-posterior; and 3. Partial-fusion or forme fruste. This consensus recognizes 3 bicuspid-aortopathy types: 1. Ascending phenotype; root phenotype; and 3. extended phenotypes.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a significant health concern affecting approximately 1% of live births. Among these anomalies, bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most prevalent, while bicuspid pulmonary valve (BPV) remains exceptionally rare. This case report presents a unique instance of a 10-year-old girl diagnosed with the combination of BAV and BPV alongside a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and infundibular stenosis, referred to as the Gasul phenomenon.

Background And Aims: Data on cardiovascular outcomes and aortic growth in pregnant women with Turner syndrome is limited. We examine the cardiovascular and pregnancy outcomes in these women and analyze aortic growth throughout pregnancy.

Methods: The ROPAC III is a global, prospective, observational registry that enrolled pregnancies of women pre-pregnancy known with Turner syndrome from 2018 to 2023.

Introduction: The natural history of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) remains inadequately characterized, leaving uncertainties regarding whether associated aortic dilatation arises from an inherent susceptibility or primarily results from altered flow dynamics across the aortic valve. We aimed to describe the evolution of valve function and aortic dilatation at preschool-age in children diagnosed with BAV neonatally.

Methods: The population study, Copenhagen Baby Heart Study (n >25,000) performed in 2016-2018, diagnosed 196 newborns (0.

Background: The Wenckebach phenomenon of atrioventricular conduction is deemed a physiological response of the atrioventricular node to a high atrial rate. However, the reverse Wenckebach phenomenon is under-recognized.

Case Summary: We report an instance of reverse Wenckebach phenomenon developing into complete heart block in a 33-year-old man who experienced syncope after surgical repair of prolapsed bicuspid aortic valves.
