Helping you understand Our healthcare
RHD is a heart condition caused by damage to the heart valves after a throat infection (like strep throat) that wasn’t treated properly. It often starts with rheumatic fever in childhood.
If a strep throat infection isn’t treated, it can cause rheumatic fever. This can lead to swelling and scarring in the heart valves, which may cause long-term heart issues.
Shortness of breath
Tiredness or weakness
Swollen legs or feet
Chest pain or fast heartbeat
Joint pain or swelling
Yes. With regular treatment and monitoring, many people with RHD live full lives. Treatment includes medications, regular antibiotics, and sometimes surgery to repair the heart valves.
Antibiotics may be needed monthly for many years — sometimes until adulthood — to protect the heart. Regular heart checkups are also needed.
