Familial aortic valve disease: evidence for a genetic influence?
1St Vincent's Hospital, University College Dublin, Ireland.
Abstract:
It has been suggested that genetic factors may play a role in the aetiology of congenital bicuspid aortic valve disease. This report describes a family in which three male siblings with bicuspid aortic valves developed critical aortic stenosis. This provides further evidence that an hereditary mechanism may play a role in some patients with this condition.
