No this is not the reason. It is a very common congenital disease that is found in children. So don't blame yourself for it.

Dear lybrate user,
- In this congenital disorder the aortic valve has two cusps instead of the normal four from birth

Dear Lybrateuser,
-Your friend could be having sinus bradycardia, a condition in which the resting heart rate is 60 or less than that
-this disorder is due to problem with the electrical system of the heart, if the heart beats very slowly then it can not pump enough blood to meet the body's needs & sometimes it may become life threatening
-his hypertension & depression also have to be treated as they are contributors in the condition.

1st degree heart blocks only delay the passage of impulse from atria to ventricles and as such there is no loss of beats so you should not read too much in this. As far as palpitations are to be considered, this may be due to your anxiety and over consciousness. Try to keep yourself busy in your routine and diverted from this. In case your PR interval gets prolonged in any subsequent examination then reassessment of cardiac function may be done.
