Introduction. The population frequency of a bicuspid aortic valve is â0.9% to 1.36%, 1â3 with a 2:1 male:female ratio. It is likely that the presence of a bicuspid aortic valve has a genetic basis, with the pattern of transmission in some families suggesting an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
Aortic valve stenosis is narrowing of the aortic valve. Many things can narrow this passageway between your heart and aorta. Causes of aortic valve stenosis include: Congenital heart defect.

Some children are born with an aortic valve that has only one (unicuspid), two (bicuspid) or four (quadricuspid) leaflets â not three.
