Rheumatic Heart Disease

Rheumatic heart disease refers to the enduring damage to one or more heart valves following the resolution of an acute episode of rheumatic fever. This condition results from one or multiple episodes of acute rheumatic fever, which cause inflammation in the heart. Consequently, the heart valves may retain their stretched or scarred state, disrupting the normal flow of blood through these damaged valves. This can lead to either a backward flow through valves that fail to close properly or blockages due to valves that do not open adequately because of scarring.
