A quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of four leaflets in the aortic valve. We are reporting a case of a 59-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with non-cardiac chest pain. The discovery of QAV during the evaluation highlights the importance of considering cardiac causes, even in cases where the presenting symptoms may not appear directly related to the heart.
四叶式主动脉瓣（QAV）是一种罕见的先天性异常，其特征是主动脉瓣有四个瓣叶。我们报告一例59岁男性患者，他因非心源性胸痛就诊于急诊科。在评估过程中发现四叶式主动脉瓣凸显了考虑心脏病因的重要性，即使在当前症状可能看似与心脏无直接关联的病例中也是如此。
