Rheumatic Heart Disease

Rheumatic Heart Disease

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) continues to be a serious health issue, particularly in areas where access to healthcare is limited. It typically occurs after an individual contracts rheumatic fever, which is caused by an untreated streptococcal throat infection. The inflammation from rheumatic fever can result in long-term damage to the heart, especially affecting the heart valves, which may eventually lead to heart failure or other complications. Preventing RHD involves ensuring proper treatment of strep throat infections with antibiotics, as well as promoting early detection of any valve damage. With effective treatment and education, the global burden of rheumatic heart disease can be reduced, particularly in regions with higher rates of strep throat infections.
