    Bicuspid aortic valve disease is an abnormality of the aortic valve that occurs in 1% to 2% of the population. It affects men more frequently than women. It is also associated with other congenital abnormalities such as coarctation (narrowing) of the aorta and Turner syndrome (a female genetic condition).
