- Bicuspid aortic valve with thickened leaflets and doming during systole
- Turbulent flow across the aortic valve during systole consistent with probable aortic stenosis
The subcostal long axis view of the left ventriculr outflow tract is an excellent view to assess for aortic stenosis or regurgitation in the setting of a bicuspid aortic valve.
