An Athlete With Bicuspid Aortic Valve Regurgitation and Left Ventricular Dilatation – A Clinical Conundrum (JACC Case Reports May 2023)
An Athlete With Bicuspid Aortic Valve Regurgitation and Left Ventricular Dilatation – A Clinical Conundrum

 

The physiological cardiac adaptations caused by intensive exercise and the pathophysiological changes caused by significant regurgitant valvular lesions can be challenging to differentiate. We describe the clinical course of an asymptomatic 31-year old elite triathlete with a moderately regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve and severe left ventricular and aortic dilatation.
