To ensure your deposit accounts are covered by FDIC insurance, you'll need to do two things. First, verify that your bank is a Member FDIC.. Virtually all banks are required to carry FDIC insurance, but some state-chartered banks may be grandfathered out of the requirement.
A bicuspid aortic valve is a heart condition that is usually due to a congenital deformity. A normal aortic valve has three cusps, whereas a bicuspid valve has only two. About 1-2% of the population have bicuspid aortic valves, although the condition is nearly twice as common in males. The majority will cause no problems.
Four valves are present in the heart to prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction. Two of these are the atrioventricular (AV) valves between the atria and ventricles. The left AV valve is called the bicuspid (or mitral) valve, while the right AV valve is called the tricuspid valve. The other two are the semilunar valves: one between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and the other between the left ventricle and the aorta.
