Aim
Aortic aneurysm and aortic rupture/dissection are not uncommon cardiovascular emergencies with high mortality. Aortic dissection generally initiates at the proximal segments of aorta. Currently biscuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve disease which was documented to be risk factor for development of proximally aortic aneurysm during adult ages. We aimed to evaluate the status of aortic diameters; aortic sinus and ascending aorta; in young adolescents who were diagnosed as bicuspid aortic valve and aortic sinus dilatation.
Material-Method
We retrospectively analyzed the medical recording of large population of healthy young subjects (n=2969; ranging between 19-24 years old) and echocardiographic diagnosis of subjects. Echocardiographic examination was performed by standard parasternal long axis and short axis view and from the apical four/five chamber view and when necessary from the suprasternal view.
