Summary

Quadricuspid aortic valve, a rare congenital heart defect, can cause heart failure. This case highlights the importance of diagnosing this anomaly, which may require aortic valve replacement.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • This case presents a patient hospitalized for heart failure attributed to this condition.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old patient presented with exercise-induced dyspnea and heart failure.
  • Physical examination revealed a diastolic aortic murmur.
  • Echocardiography confirmed the presence of a quadricuspid aortic valve.

Findings:

  • Quadricuspid aortic valves typically feature three main cusps and a smaller fourth cusp.
  • Aortic regurgitation is a common complication, necessitating valve replacement in approximately 50% of cases.
  • Associated congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries may occur.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis of quadricuspid aortic valve is crucial for managing heart failure.
  • Systematic coronarography is recommended before aortic valve replacement to identify potential coronary artery anomalies.
  • This condition underscores the importance of thorough cardiac evaluation in patients with unexplained heart failure.
