Ongoing research explores the cause, incidence, and progression of bicuspid aortopathy to promote earlier diagnosis and improve preventive management. Recent findings include: high familial incidence and need for improved familial screening; safety of recreational physical activity in most affected children; potential for medical management to slow aortic growth; feasibility of pediatric registries to evaluate longitudinal outcomes; and potential genetic and hemodynamic biomarkers for disease risk stratification.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Pediatric bicuspid aortopathy is an important area for investigation and preventive management to improve long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
