RESUMO
Talbot, S. (1973).Thorax, 28, 622-626. Valvular heart disease: a study of mortality in the Sheffield population. A study of deaths due to valve disease in the community and in hospital showed that aortic valve disease was a more common cause of sudden death than was mitral valve disease. Mitral valve disease was a frequent cause of death in the elderly, but all valve lesions in the elderly were found more often in the community than in the hospital series; these were often (66%) undiagnosed prior to death, particularly in men. Evidence of combined aortic and mitral valve disease was less often overlooked.
