What are the treatment options for congenital heart disease and bicuspid valve dysfunction at 22?

Dear Manish ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern. Cryatonic congenital heart disease and dysfunction of the diastolic bicuspid valve (likely referring to a bicuspid aortic valve with diastolic dysfunction) are serious but treatable cardiac conditions—especially when managed early.

At just 22 years old, timely intervention can make a big difference in your heart health and future quality of life.

What You Should Do Immediately

• Consult a cardiologist or cardiac surgeon for a detailed heart function assessment

• Important tests may include 2D Echo, ECG, cardiac MRI, or angiography

• Based on findings, treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical intervention

Surgical Treatment Options

If the condition is severe or progressing, your cardiologist may recommend:

• Valve Repair Surgery: In early-stage bicuspid valve dysfunction, surgeons may attempt to reshape or repair the existing valve

• Valve Replacement Surgery: If the valve is significantly damaged, it may need to be replaced with a mechanical or biological valve

• Congenital Heart Defect Correction: If you have any associated structural heart issues (like septal defects or coarctation), they may be surgically corrected during the same procedure

• Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery: In select cases, valve repair or replacement can be done via a small incision with quicker recovery

• TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation): In very specific situations, this catheter-based procedure may be an option

Recovery depends on the type of surgery but generally ranges from 4–8 weeks, with lifelong follow-up required for valve health and heart function.
