Muere un paciente tras una intervención en el dentista
Una familia ha denunciado a un dentista de Málaga por la muerte de un joven de 19 años que murió tras someterse a una endodoncia de una muela. El paciente falleció meses después a causa de una endocarditis infecciosa, que es una infección de la membrana que recubre el interior de las cavidades del corazón que sin tratamiento puede

The bad news is the noticed 'significant aortic regurgitation' that wasn't present last time and is likely unrelated to the mitral valve disease. The vet isn't quite sure what to make of it, but the most likely diagnosis would be endocarditis— an infection of the valve.
