Structure of the human tricuspid valve leaflets and its chordae tendineae in unexpected death. A forensic autopsy study of 400 cases.

Abstract

This condition negatively affects the feeding of chordae and leaflets and acts as a culprit of cardiac deaths, since aging starts at an early stage. This situation changes the verdict in legal affairs. For this reason, the valvachordal structure should be carefully examined prospectively in autopsies.
