According to the info, given in the site of bicuspid foundation, I belong to the group of young people, who can suffer not only from valve insufficiency, but also from other tissue demages. So, by me, at the time, there are no problems with the aorta yet, but I read, that I have a little prolapse of the mitral valve's front leaflet and prolonged hordes. In the table of regurgitation, there was written "0+" two years ago and clear "0" half year ago. Does it mean, that my mitral valve won't be more affected than now, from my BAV condition, or it is more possibly to develope in the far future? What do you thing, guys?
DavidFortune put a link to a study for AVRs in young persons. There is written, that the AVR doesn't affect the conditions generally. Main trobles are coused by other illnesses, like coronary artery decease. Good news for the BAVs are, that they are not prone to CAD, except the "old" smokers and very high cholesterol (bicuspid foundation).
