Abstract

Bicuspid aortic valve and aortopathy are generally considered contraindications to isometric exercise. For athletes with mild disease at low risk of adverse events, a shared decision-making approach for continued sports participation is reasonable. We present a case of a collegiate wrestler with bicuspid aortic valve and aortopathy to illustrate shared decision making. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
