Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) affects approximately 55 million people globally, leading to 360,000 annual deaths, particularly among young individuals in low- and middle-income countries. It stems from untreated strep throat infections, causing immune responses that damage heart valves, with early intervention being crucial for prevention. Public health initiatives focusing on early diagnosis, improved living conditions, and education are essential to eradicate this preventable disease.
