Rheumatic Heart Disease
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a long-term consequence of rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after a strep throat or scarlet fever infection. When left untreated, the inflammation caused by rheumatic fever can damage the heart valves, leading to complications such as valve stenosis or regurgitation. While the disease was once common in many parts of the world, its prevalence has decreased significantly in developed countries due to widespread use of antibiotics to treat strep throat. However, RHD remains a major concern in low- and middle-income nations, where access to medical care and prevention programs is limited. Early detection and appropriate treatment of streptococcal throat infections are crucial in preventing the development of rheumatic heart disease.
