Rheumatic Heart Disease

Rheumatic heart disease is a condition that affects the heart valves, causing damage due to inflammation in the heart tissue. It can result from untreated strep throat or scarlet fever and may lead to serious complications later in life. While there is no cure for rheumatic heart disease, it can be managed with medication and surgery. Regular consultations with a doctor and precautionary measures to avoid infections are important for individuals with this condition.
