title: [The bicuspid aortic valve].
abstract: Results are reported of an examination of 8 patients with congenital bicuspid aortal valves confirmed at autopsy. Clinical symptoms of this abnormality of development appear as a result of valvular dystrophy and addition of calcinosis with formation of aortal cardiac failure (most frequently stenosis of the aortic ostium). Aortal cardiac failure is very frequently interpreted as rheumatic or atherosclerotic. The author proposes criteria of during life diagnosis of congenital bicuspid aortal valve pathology.
