From echocardiography results, 4 groups of patients were identified: bicuspid valve carriers with (bi\/dil) or without (bi\/0) aortic dilatation and tricuspid valve carriers with (tri\/dil) or without (tri\/0) aortic dilatation. Massive focal apoptosis was observed in the medial layers of bi\/dil (mean apoptotic index [mAI], 8.1\u00b16.0) and tri\/dil (mAI, 8.1\u00b18.3) compared with tri\/0 (mAI, 0.9\u00b11.2;\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =0.0079 and\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =0.037). In bi\/0 (mAI, 9.1\u00b15.7) compared with tri\/0 (mAI, 0.9\u00b11.2), rates of medial SMC apoptosis were increased (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =0.0025).
