Can I Donate Blood with Bicuspid Aortic Valve?
Patient's Query
Hi! I was wondering whether I can donate blood with aortic insufficiency? My aortal valve is bicuspid and my ejection fraction is normal (60%). I have no symptoms nor do I take any heart-related medication.
Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
With a bicuspid aortic valve and normal ejection fraction, the risk of complications during blood donation is generally low. Since you're asymptomatic and not on heart medications, it's even more reassuring. However, it's always best to consult with your cardiologist to ensure it's safe for you to donate blood. They might want to do a quick check-up or provide specific guidance based on your individual health status.
