Rheumatic Heart disease (RHD) is a condition that occurs as a result of untreated or inadequately treated strep throat or scarlet fever, leading to damage to heart valves and inflammation of the heart.

There are two types of RHD -

• Acute rheumatic fever
• Chronic rheumatic heart disease

The main cause of RHD is a bacterial infection called Group A Streptococcus. The infection can cause an immune response that damages the heart valves, leading to valve deformities and heart function problems.

Symptoms of RHD can include

• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Fatigue
• Palpitations
• Fainting

• Antibiotics to treat the bacterial infection
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Surgery to repair or replace damaged heart valves
