Sex Differences in Young People With Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

Dr. Talha Niaz, a third year Cardiology Fellow at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, reviews results of his study appearing in the July 2021 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, where he and his colleagues found when comparing sex differences in bicuspid aortic valve disease in the young, that males have a higher grade of aortic regurgitation in late adolescence, significantly larger aortic dimensions, different patterns of aortic growth, and more frequent sinus of Valsalva dilation as compared to females. These results have important impacts on treatment modalities and future studies. In addition, they found overall the rate of primary cardiac events is lower in young patients with no significant sex-differences. Available at: https://mayocl.in/33qoIkk
