I've just had the same diagnosis at 45 years of age. I had a heart murmer diagnosed as a baby but it was never picked up again, and that includes having 2 class 1 medical examinations. I recently had minor surgery and a trip to the cardiologist to check out some highish blood pressure results in being diagnosed with a bicuspid aorta. Like yourself, it's no great issue but just needs to be monitored. I may need some sort of valve replacement in 20 or 30 years time. I guess that depends on my lifestyle now and in the future.
