My BP varies between 120/60 to 150/70 - there is a huge gap of over 60 mm between the diastolic and systolic levels - is that a cause for concern? is there any treatment available or recommended for that? PS - (I am a case of bicuspid valve aerotic as I am told) Rajender
Hi, The problem with the bicuspid aortic valve is generally there is thickening of the valve (stenosis) or leaking (Regurgitation). If there is a very large difference between systolic and diastolic BP (upper and lower BP) it generally denotes leaking valve. So I suggest you get Echo done every 6 months. It is very important for a patient with a bicuspid valve. Further management will depend on the report of the echo. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
