AI Article Synopsis

  • - This case highlights the challenges in predicting outcomes for athletes with valvular disease, as their athletic training can alter normal heart function.
  • - A 46-year-old female athlete is mentioned, who has both a bicuspid aortic valve and a subaortic membrane, leading to significant heart valve issues but no noticeable symptoms.
  • - The study suggests that cardiopulmonary exercise testing and advanced imaging techniques can be valuable tools for evaluating and managing condition in athletes.

Article Abstract

Parameters relied on as tools for prognostication in valvular disease can be confounded by athletic physiological remodeling. This case describes how cardiopulmonary exercise testing and multimodality imaging may be helpful in assessment of a 46-year-old female athlete with bicuspid aortic valve and subaortic membrane with associated asymptomatic severe mixed aortic valve disease.
