Abstract While bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital cardiac anomaly, quadricuspid (QAV) rare. The usual three‐leaflet characterized by engineering advantages with superior long‐term performance, and thus, degenerative changes significant functional deterioration appear at advanced age. Aim: Evaluation of similarities, differences between QAV BAV. Methods: Screening 19 000 consecutive echocardiographic studies was performed. Results: BAV reported in 131 subjects prevalence 0.7%,...
Abstract Congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital abnormality, with an estimated incidence of 0.5-2% in adults. However, BAV much less prevalent some populations and racial differences were reported. Aim: Comparison between Arab Jewish patients Israel. Methods: Screening 18962 echocardiographic studies Bnai Zion Medical Center evaluation demographic, atherosclerotic risk factors, clinical parameters was performed. Results: Male to female ratio 4.6:1 while 1.6:1, p...
Abstract Placement of ICDs, permanent pacemakers, and biventricular devices is performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Implantable device leads can cause tricuspid regurgitation (TR) when they interfere with leaflet motion. In the past, we had experience 2 cases RV lead who severe TR; one repositioning other needed surgery. Aim: Evaluation TR after right ventricular (RV) implantation to check if echocardiographic guidance for adequate positioning. Methods: Seventy six patients trans-thoracic...
