Rheumatic Heart disease (RHD) is the most common acquired heart disease in children in many countries of the world, especially in developing countries. The global burden of disease caused by rheumatic fever currently falls disproportionately on children living in the developing world, especially where poverty is widespread.
RHD is a chronic heart condition caused by rheumatic fever that can be prevented and controlled. Rheumatic fever is caused by a preceding group A streptococcal (strep) infection. Treating strep throat with antibiotics can prevent rheumatic fever. Moreover, regular antibiotics (usually monthly injections) can prevent patients with rheumatic fever from contracting further strep infections and causing progression of valve damage.
Rheumatic Heart Disease is mainly induced by Rheumatic fever which is mainly caused by streptococcus bacterial infection which isn't treated fully. This continous and then will try to affect the heart and results in valvular deterioration. The damage to the heart involves scarring of the heart valves which causes the heart to pump more forcefully thereby weakens the heart over time. The damage could be temporary and may heal but if its permanent, this may lead to a congestive heart failure.
