Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bicuspid valves may eventually leak (aortic regurgitation) and/or narrow (aortic stenosis). It can be years before BAV causes an issue. Once your valve shows signs of regurgitation or stenosis, your heart is likely working harder to pump blood to the body. The extra work can lead to heart failure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitral valve regurgitation is a type of heart valve disease in which the valve between the left heart chambers doesn’t close completely, allowing blood to leak backward across the valve. It is the most common type of heart valve disease (valvular heart disease).
