Detailed explanation-2: -… opening is guarded by the mitral, or bicuspid, valve, so named because it consists of two flaps. The mitral valve is attached in the same manner as the tricuspid, but it is stronger and thicker because the left ventricle is by nature a more powerful pump working under high pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -When this happens, the condition is called aortic valve stenosis. The heart has to work harder to pump blood into the body’s main artery, called the aorta. Bicuspid aortic valve is a heart problem present at birth. That means it is a congenital heart defect.
