Cause of death of Margaret Mylan, nee Spencer, 1917

[Peggy13]

I can't read the last couple words in cause of death for Margaret. Apparently, she had been an invalid for 3 years as per her husband John's draft registration in Jan 1917. Since they only married in Feb 1913, she was an invalid for most of the marriage. Thanks for any help.

Mitral valve
Calcificated alcohol ?

The last bit is ... with loss of compensation.

Thank you everyone. I think you are right Bookbox. Now I will google that to see what that means as far as effects on the body.
