Abstract
Background— Cardiac valvular diseases contribute to >42 000 deaths yearly in the United States, but the role of genetics in these deaths is unknown. This study evaluated the familiality of death resulting from aortic, mitral, and all valvular diseases using a population-based genealogy linked to death records.Keywords
