Bicuspid aortic valve: The most common cause of aortic stenosis in younger people is a congenital bicuspid valve.
Stenosis commonly occurs from calcification of the valve, which happens prematurely in those with a bicuspid aortic valve.
The joint formed between the bicuspid and the pedicel is partially flexible, as it can bend inward, but not outward.
Since bicuspid valves are capable of regulating blood flow properly, this condition may go undetected without regular screening.
