1.What is rheumatic heart disease (RHD)?Rheumatic heart disease is a condition characterized by damage to the heart valves caused by rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease triggered by untreated or inadequately treated streptococcal infections, particularly in childhood.
Risk factors for RHD include a history of rheumatic fever or streptococcal infections, particularly in childhood, overcrowded living conditions, poor access to healthcare, and socioeconomic factors.
Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical evaluation, assessment of risk factors, and diagnostic tests such as echocardiography, ECG, and cardiac imaging studies to assess valvular function, cardiac structure, and signs of heart failure.
The primary goals of treatment for RHD are to alleviate symptoms, prevent disease progression, reduce the risk of complications such as heart failure and valvular dysfunction, and improve overall cardiac health and quality of life.
Don't delay in seeking help if you suspect you have rheumatic heart disease – early evaluation and treatment are essential for optimizing outcomes and preventing complications.
