Risk Factors
Factors affecting the rate of stenosis of bicuspid valves are not clearly defined.
- The rate of calcification of the bicuspid aortic valve depends on:[1]
- Total cholesterol
- Hypertension
- Asymmetrical leaflet sizes as there is more pronounced hemodynamic stress, resulting from straightening and stretching of the leaflets when they are open and close[2]
- Sclerotic changes resulting in stenosis tend to occur at faster rate in patients with:[3]
- Anteroposteriorly located cusps than in those with right-left located cusps
- Asymmetrical leaflet sizes
