Aortic Bicuspid Valve

Posted By Ryan on May 03, 1999 at 11:32:00
I have recently been diagnosed with a congenital Aortic Bicuspid Valve while in the application process with a police department.  During the medical testing, the physician conducting the exam heard what he thought was a murmur and referred me to a cardiologist in order to diagnose the origin of the sound.  I am currently waiting for the cardiologist to make a final recommendation to the original physician or whether this condition would exclude me from employment as a police officer.  Would this type of defect be something serious enough to disqualify me from employment?
I have led a very active life, am in great physical shape (running and lifting weights) and I have never experienced any symptoms.  Thanks...
