Comprehensive MR Analysis of Cardiac Function, Aortic Hemodynamics and Left Ventricular Strain in Pediatric Cohort with Isolated Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease demonstrates a range of clinical presentations and complications. We aim to use cardiac MRI (CMR) to evaluate left ventricular (LV) parameters, myocardial strain and aortic hemodynamics in pediatric BAV patients with and without aortic stenosis (AS) or regurgitation (AR) compared to tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) controls. We identified 58 pediatric BAV patients without additional cardiovascular pathology and 25...
