    Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, occurring in 1% to 2% of the general population.1 Compared with individuals having normal tricuspid aortic valves, those with BAVs are more likely to develop calcification on valve leaflets and raphe and dilation of the ascending aorta (aortopathy)—and at a much earlier age. For highly select patients with severe BAV…

The result is a broader therapeutic armamentarium to treat both heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <40%) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; LVEF >50%).As pharmacological treatment of heart failure…
