CLINICAL AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY CHARACTERISTICS OF BICULATERAL AORTIC VALVE WHO WERE OPERATED AT VIET DUC UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Bicuspid aortic valve is a common congenital heart defect. The study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics and echocardiography results of patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease who underwent surgery at Viet Duc University Hospital from 2018 to mid-2024. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study, longitudinal follow-up of patients diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve disease who underwent valve replacement surgery, from January 2018 to June 2024. Results: Including 75 patients with an average age of 60.9 ± 5.6 years (38 - 80), 60.1% were male. NYHA classification of heart failure was 100% moderate and severe (70.6% NYHA 2). Increased pressure gradient across the aortic valve / echocardiography - average 58.6 ± 16.0 mmHg (77% > 40 mmHg). Conclusion: Bicuspid aortic valve disease has a silent clinical course. The clinical picture upon admission is often obvious and in the late stage. Echocardiography has diagnostic value in determining heart valve damage and cardiac function.
