Which view is best used to evaluate a bicuspid aortic valve?

C.

D.

The Answer Is:
D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
The parasternal short axis view at the level of the aortic valve is optimal for evaluating valve morphology, including detection of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). This view clearly visualizes the valve leaflets en face during systole.
Right sternal border and apical views provide hemodynamic information but are less optimal for detailed valve anatomy. Apical long axis is better for left ventricular and outflow tract evaluation but limited for valve leaflet number.
