Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart disease associated with aortic wall abnormalities and co-existing with other congenital defects (e.g. aortic coarctation). This study aimed to explore aortic shape features in a BAV popula

The mechanics of the mitral valve (MV) are the result of the interaction of different anatomical structures complexly arranged within the left heart (LH), with the blood flow. MV structure abnormalities might cause valve regurgitation which in turn c
