Pediatric Rheumatic Heart Disease

Pediatric rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a chronic condition resulting from acute rheumatic fever (ARF), an inflammatory disease that can develop after a Group A Streptococcal (GAS) throat infection. RHD primarily affects children in developing countries and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.

Causes and Pathophysiology

  • Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF)
  • Progression to Rheumatic Heart Disease

Pediatric rheumatic  heart disease  remains a significant health concern, particularly in resource-limited settings. Early detection, effective treatment of GAS infections, and long-term prevention strategies are crucial for reducing the burden of this preventable disease.
