Predictors of Ascending Aorta Enlargement and Valvular Dysfunction Progression in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients are at high risk of developing progressive aortic valve dysfunction and ascending aorta dilation. However, the progression of the disease is not well defined. We aimed to assess mid-long-term aorta dilation and valve dysfunction progression and their predictors....

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients are at high risk of developing progressive aortic valve dysfunction and ascending aorta dilation. However, the progression of the disease is not well defined. We aimed to assess mid-long-term aorta dilation and valve dysfunction progression and their predictors. Patients were referred from cardiac outpatient clinics to the echocardiographic laboratories of 10 tertiary hospitals and followed clinically and by echocardiography for >5 years. Seven hundred and eighteen patients with BAV (median age 47.8 years [IQR 33–62], 69.2% male) were recruited. BAV without raphe was observed in 11.3%. After a median follow-up of 7.2 years [IQR5–8], mean aortic root growth rate was 0.23 ± 0.15 mm/year. On multivariate analysis, rapid aortic root dilation (>0.35 mm/year) was associated with male sex, hypertension, presence of raphe and aortic regurgitation.
