Male, 28 years, good shape. How bicuspid aortic valve can impact on adapting on high altitudes (>4000 metres). Are there any contraindications against high-mountains climbing with this condition?

Not much problem unless severe gradient or aortic exhilaration. Please post your complete echo / CT report for better opinion.

Hello lybrate-user, if no sever narrowing or regurgitation in the valve itself then it is safe.
