FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID PROGRESSION OF AORTIC STENOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE: A SINGLE CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Background: Progression of aortic stenosis (AS) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients is not well understood. Methods: To investigate which factors in BAV patients predict progression of AS more rapid than the reported average rate of 0.1 cm2/ yr, clinical records and echocardiograms of 260 BAV
