Added a topic about bicuspid aortic valve and its aortopathy.

Hello, I have added a topic about the bicuspid aortic valve and its aortopathy.


The bicuspid aortic valve is a congenital heart defect where the aortic valve, which usually has three cusps or leaflets, is formed with only two. This anatomical variation can lead to various complications over time, including aortic stenosis, regurgitation, and an increased risk of developing aortic aneurysms. Aortopathy can manifest as dilation or other structural abnormalities of the aorta, which may necessitate careful monitoring and intervention.


I redrawn all the pictures used on the page.
