Mashup Score: 3Prevalence and Phenotypic Characterization of Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Large Aortic Annular Diameter - 2 year(s) ago
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a heterogenous entity with different anatomic subtypes and various clinical presentations.1,2 Besides a larger sinus of Valsalva (SoV) and ascending aorta, a large aortic annulus (AA) is a classic anatomical feature reported in BAV. However, the exact prevalence of large AAs in patients with BAV is unclear, and phenotypic characterization of patients with BAV and…

Mashup Score: 5Not So Luck of the Irish: Four-Leaf Clover–Shaped Quadricusp Aortic Valve Found Around St. Patrick’s Day - 2 year(s) ago
A 43-year-old man was evaluated by his primary care physician for atypical chest pain and worsening dyspnea on exertion. A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed at our institution to evaluate for an underlying cardiomyopathy. Much to the surprise of the sonographer and the interpreting physician, the only abnormality discovered was a quadricusp aortic valve (QAV). The valve had 4 leaflets or…

Cardiac point of care ultrasound provides rapid bedside diagnosis of important cardiovascular pathology and is performed by a growing number of users in a variety of clinical settings. Echocardiographers and sonographers may be asked to play a role in training practitioners in cardiac ultrasound who come from disciplines outside of the cardiovascular field. These trainees’ backgrounds, needs,…

Aortic dissection is a well-established cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young competitive athletes.1 Unlike most causes of SCD (e.g., cardiomyopathy, channelopathy), which are readily detectable by 12-lead electrocardiography,2 aortopathies are typically electrically silent. Therefore, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed during preparticipation screening or individualized…

The association of bulboventricular foramen (BVF) size and systemic outflow adequacy has been studied in patients with tricuspid atresia (TA) or double-inlet left ventricle (DILV) with transposed great arteries. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between initial BVF size and risk for progressive pulmonary outflow obstruction requiring intervention to increase pulmonary blood…
