It is recommended that people with bicuspid aortic valves be followed by a physician. Antibiotic prophylaxis is also suggested prior to certain procedures. Echocardiograms to assess the structure and functional status of the valve on an annual basis. I hope that this answers some of your questions. I would kindly refer you to your local doctor for further information and for your non-cardiac questions.
