Rheumatic heart disease is a chronic condition resulting from rheumatic fever, characterized by inflammation of the heart and commonly affecting the mitral and aortic valves. It is more prevalent in developing countries and among individuals from poorer socio-economic backgrounds, particularly children aged 5 to 15. Diagnosis is based on clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and the Jones criteria, with management involving antibiotics, corticosteroids, and potential surgical interventions.
