To ensure your deposit accounts are covered by FDIC insurance, you'll need to do two things. First, verify that your bank is a Member FDIC.. Virtually all banks are required to carry FDIC insurance, but some state-chartered banks may be grandfathered out of the requirement.
A bicuspid aortic valve is a heart condition that is usually due to a congenital deformity. A normal aortic valve has three cusps, whereas a bicuspid valve has only two. About 1-2% of the population have bicuspid aortic valves, although the condition is nearly twice as common in males. The majority will cause no problems.
The bicuspid valve is composed of 2 leaflets or cusps, usually of unequal size. The larger leaflet is referred to as the conjoined leaflet. Two commissures (or hinge points) are present; usually neither is partially fused.
