"What About Medications for Bicuspid Aortic Valves?" asks Tina
Published: July 6, 2023
After being diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve disease, patients often wonder if there are medications or drugs that can treat this common congenital form of heart disease that impacts up to 2% of the population. For example, Tina just asked me, "Hi Adam – Is there any medicine for the treatment of a leaking bicuspid aortic valve?"
To answer Tina's questions and educate you about the use of medications for bicuspid aortic valves, I connected with Dr. Luis Castro. As you may know, Dr. Castro is a leading heart valve surgeon who has successfully treated over 200 patients in the HeartValveSurgery.com community. To see my interview with Dr. Castro about bicuspid aortic valves, drugs and medications, click here.
Many thanks to Tina for her question and Dr. Castro for taking the time to share his clinical expertise and research with our community!!!
Keep on tickin!
