It is fairly easy to detect advanced valve lesions of established rheumatic heart disease by echocardiography in the clinically identified cases disease. However, diagnose a subclinical case disease, no uniform set echocardiographic criteria exist. Moderate thickening leaflets considered an indicator World Health Organization for diagnosing probable are more sensitive and based on detection significant regurgitation mitral and/or aortic valves color Doppler. We attempted RHD school children...
Out of 1,059 school children aged 6-15 years, screened 2 years ago, 54 were diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and put on penicillin prophylaxis. Significant regurgitation mitral valves was detected in 39 cases echocardiography RHD, 15 significant to coexist valve deformities. Three had isolated thickening without regurgitation. They not given These followed up for years.After RHD three thickening, evaluated again. Lot quality assurance sampling employed screen a selected group...
Objectives This study assessed the ability of live/real time three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3 DTEE ) in measuring (1) atrial septal defect ( ASD maximum dimension, area, and adjacent rim size, (2) occluder left right disk (3) length contact between LA aorta, (4) assessing device related complications such as residual shunt, embolization, encroachment upon cardiac structures. Materials Methods 3DTEE images acquired during percutaneous closure by A mplatzer S eptal O...
The present study is based on the World Heart Federation (WHF) echocardiographic criteria to assess prevalence of subclinical rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and elucidate evolution when cases were placed appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis regular follow-up. RHD reported by previous active surveillance studies among asymptomatic school children not comparable our because major differences in screening methods.A random inclusion strategy was adopted recruit urban rural Bikaner district state...
Echocardiography has been found to be a much better screening tool compared clinical examination for the detection of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in asymptomatic school children living RHD endemic areas. Recently, World Heart Federation (WHF) published echocardiographic criteria diagnosis RHD. The present study was done compare performance newer proposed, quantitative diagnostic score against qualitative WHF field survey belonging district having high prevalence RHD.3000 studying rural and...
This is a unique case of patient aged 35 years developing rheumatic carditis secondary to acute fever. The developed mitral regurgitation yet tolerated it relatively well because coexistent Tetralogy Fallot. hemodynamics in this was significantly altered by the coexistence these two conditions. first its kind when fever has been documented
Background Past active surveillance have reported prevalence of subclinical RHD amongst school children which are not comparable because major differences in screening methods. The present study is based on the WHF criteria to assess carditis due and elucidate evolution disease when these were placed appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis regular follow-up. This first large has been conducted a single district India after publication reporting short-medium term follow-up data. Methods For among...
