Left Ventricle Twisting in Athletes: A Comparison between Subjects with Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Tricuspid Ones
2012
Aim: In athletes with Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) a slight but progressive left ventricle (LV) enlargement with a reduction of longitudinal strain values at basal segments of the same chamber, have been previously demonstrated. The aim of the study is to verify by deformation parameters any possible asymptomatic myocardial dysfunction in BAV athletes.
