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.
Dogs and cats with tricuspid valve dysplasia often also have an open foramen ovale, an atrial septal defect, or inflammation of the right atrial epicardium. In dogs, tricuspid valve dysplasia can be similar to Ebstein's anomaly in humans. Mitral valve stenosis is one of the most common congenital heart defects in cats. In dogs, it is most commonly found in Great Danes, German Shepherd Dogs, Bull Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Newfoundlands, and Mastiffs.
