Resumen
QUESADA BRENES, Francisco. Válvula aórtica bivalva con cambios de degeneración mixoide asociados. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.1, pp.303-311. ISSN 2215-5287.
Today with the widespread use of antibiotics, rheumatic fever has lost first place as a cause of disease of the heart valves, ceding it to other pathologies such as the weakening of the tissue of the valve caused by myxomatous degeneration, the accumulation of calcium valves called calcific degeneration, or being born with a valve same irregular shape as bicuspid aortic valve is. Precisely, this leads to the presentation of the case of a healthy young male known 16-year- old who suddenly dies while practicing cycling recreationally.
Palabras clave : valvular degeneration; bicuspid aortic; myxoid degeneration; sudden cardiac death; aortic stenosis.
