Abstract:
AbstractIn recent years, rheumatic fever has been declining in the industrialized countries, and has became a rare disease. In developing areas, nonetheless, the sequels of its cardiac involvement have important implications from the stance of public health, and this disease is still the main cause of heart disease in children and young adults. From a historical perspective, the long-term prevention and the control of socioeconomic problems have been proven to be effective, and it is these measures which have contributed to the decline of the disease in developed countries. But, due to its present high prevalence around the world, and the potential for his resurgence, this disease remains an unsolved problem. Furthermore, the complete understanding of its pathophysiology remains a challenge. In this presentation, we will discuss our experience with epidemiological, clinical and prophylatic aspects of this enigmatic disease, and the strategies we have developed to study and control heumatic fever in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Abstract:
Molecular mimicry between streptococcal and human proteins has been proposed as the triggering factor leading to autoimmunity in rheumatic fever (RF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD). This article summarises studies on genetic susceptibility markers involved in the development of RF/RHD. It also focuses on the molecular mimicry in RHD mediated by the responses of B and T cells of peripheral blood, and T cells infiltrating heart lesions, against streptococcal antigens and human tissue proteins. The molecular basis of T-cell recognition is assessed through the definition of heart-crossreactive antigens. The production of cytokines from peripheral and heart-infiltrating mononuclear cells suggests that T helper 1 (Th1)-type cytokines are the mediators of RHD heart lesions. An insufficiency of interleukin 4 (IL-4)-producing cells in the valvular tissue might contribute to the maintenance and progression of valve lesions.

Abstract:
Background and Aims: Rheumatic Fever, Rheumatic Heart Disease and Congenital Heart disease are the most common cardiac problems in school children. Prior studies have reported different prevalence rate of Rheumatic Heart Disease among different groups of population of Nepal. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Rheumatic Fever, Rheumatic Heart Disease and Congenital Heart Disease among school children in Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Methods: Cardiac screening of 34,876 school children from 115 randomly selected public schools from two cities of Kathmandu Valley (Kathmandu and Lalitpur) was done. Cases with abnormal findings in auscultation underwent echocardiography and the diagnosis was confirmed. Results: The prevalence of Congenital Heart Disease was noted to be 1 per thousand and prevalence of Rheumatic Heart Disease was found to be 0.90 per thousand (in the age group 5-16 years) with the most common lesion being Mitral Regurgitation. No significant statistical difference was noted between male and female students in both the cases of Rheumatic Heart Disease and Congenital Heart Disease. No cases of Acute Rheumatic Fever were noted. Conclusion: The prevalence of Rheumatic Heart Disease among school children in Kathmandu valley was noted to be lower than reported in similar previous studies. Primary and secondary prevention programs of RF/RHD have been effective in Nepal and are needed to be strengthened and expanded to further reduce the burden of these diseases.

Abstract:
Screening of 9904 Omani schoolchildren from different regions in Oman gave a prevalence rate of rheumatic heart disease of 8 per 10 000 with no significant difference by sex or level of education. Follow-up of the sample for three months gave an estimated annual incidence of rheumatic fever of 4 per 10 000. The positive predictive value of definite murmurs for diagnosis of cardiovascular disease was 35.21% for school health physicians and 86.67% for regional physicians. The results show that rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease are not major public health problems in Oman. The study recommends integration of the management and control of the diseases within the primary health care system

Abstract:
In the 21st century, Rheumatic fever (RF) and Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are neglected diseases of marginalized communities. Globally, RHD remains the most-common cardiovascular disease in young people aged <25 years. Although RF and RHD have been almost eradicated in areas with established economies, migration from low-income to high-income settings might be responsible for a new burden of RHD in high-income countries. Globally, the prevalence of rheumatic fever (RF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) has declined sharply but, in developing countries, RF is still aleading cause of heart disease and, consequently, death in children and young adults. In 2005, it was estimated that over 2.4 million children aged 5-14 years were having RHD globally and 79% of all these cases were from lessdeveloped countries.Cardiovasc. j. 2018; 10(2): 206-211

Abstract:
Rheumatic fever is non-suppurative sequel of group A streptococcal infection. It is a multifocal inflammatory disease, affecting primarily the heart, joints, skin and central nervous system occurring in 0.1% to 3% after untreated pharyngitis. It was a major cause of death and a common cause of chronic structural heart disease in children until 1960. It has declined in developed countries due to advent of penicillin and improved social conditions. Rheumatic fever is very common disease among children in developing countries till date. Rheumatic fever and its clinically significant sequel, rheumatic heart disease, continue to be a major health problem in developing countries like Nepal. Rheumatic fever is still a major cause of death and heart disease.

Abstract:
SummaryWe studied 56 children echocardiographically, ages four to 15 years (mean nine years) with acute rheumatic fever to determine the extent of cardiac involvement. All had a clinical diagnosis of carditis. Mitral regurgitation was always present and was associated with aortic regurgitation in 53.6% and tricuspid regurgitation in 32.1%. Mitral valvar prolapse was observed in 18 patients 5(32.1%) and could not be differentiated from myxomatous prolapse in 10 (17.8%). Cordal rupture was detected in seven patients (12.5%), three of whom required surgical treatment. Other findings concerning the mitral valve were vegetations in two patients (3.6%), commissural fusion without stenosis in 36(64.3%), and mitral stenosis in four (7.1%). Heart failure was usually secondary to valvitis rather than myocarditis, and led to surgical treatment in seven patients. The myocardial function was depressed in only two patients. In both, the ejection function returned to normal after medical treatment. Echocardiography provides important information on the involvement of the heart in acute rheumatic fever, helping to determine prognosis and the results of treatment.

Abstract:
The review refl ects modern data on the epidemiology of acute rheumatic fever and chronic rheumatic heart disease in Russia and the world at present, as well as the dynamics of the prevalence of these diseases over the past decades. Much attention is paid to the issues of modern diagnostics of these conditions by physical, laboratory and instrumental methods. The focus is on the Jones criteria in the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever in accordance with their revision by the American Heart Association experts in 2015. Taking into account the fact that damage to the valvular apparatus of the heart in acute rheumatic fever is the main disabling outcome of carditis at the present stage, a special place in the article is devoted to the discussion of echocardiographic criteria for valvulitis. The recommendations of the International Expert Council of the World Heart Federation aimed at detecting chronic rheumatic heart disease in patients without a history of acute rheumatic fever diagnosed by ultrasound imaging are also given. Criteria for pathological aortic and mitral regurgitation are presented. The authors believe that extrapolation of modern principles of ultrasound diagnostics of chronic rheumatic heart disease in Russia and their use as screening programs in young people and adolescents will contribute to its early detection and timely selection of patients for secondary prevention of benzathine with benzylpenicillin.

Abstract:
AbstractIntroduction: Ischaemia-modified albumin, a novel biochemical marker for tissue ischaemia, was found to be associated with oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of ischaemia-modified albumin in the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever and also to evaluate the ischaemia-modified albumin levels in children with heart valve disease. Methods: The study groups, aged 5–18 years, consisted of 128 individuals – 40 with acute rheumatic fever, 35 with congenital heart valve disease, 33 with chronic rheumatic heart disease, and 20 healthy control subjects. Results: The ischaemia-modified albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein levels of the acute rheumatic fever group were significantly higher than those in the chronic rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart valve disease, and control groups, separately (p < 0.001). The ischaemia-modified albumin levels in both carditis and isolated arthritis subgroups of children with acute rheumatic fever were significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.001, p < 0.01, respectively). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the chorea subgroup and control subjects. In addition, significant correlations were observed between ischaemia-modified albumin and acute phase reactants of patients with acute rheumatic fever (p < 0.001 for both erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein). The ischaemia-modified albumin levels of chronic rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart valve disease, and control subjects were similar. Conclusions: The increased level of ischaemia-modified albumin in children with acute rheumatic fever seems to be associated with inflammation. However, further studies are needed to provide stronger evidence.

Abstract:
Introduction: Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease is a common problem in developing countries. Rheumatic valvular heart disease is one of the important risk factor for infective endocarditis. Methods: Retrospective study was conducted among 56 children admitted in cardiology ward of Kanti children hospital with the diagnosis of rheumatic fever or rheumatic heart disease during May 2008 to May 2010. Results: We found male to female ratio 2: 1, median age 12 (5-14yrs) with the most affected age group of 11-12 years. Common symptoms were fever (66%), dyspnea (68%), joint pain (50%), palpitation (30%), cough (16%) and chest pain (12%). Only 9% of patients had positive history of sore throat. Sixty percent patients were presented with features of congestive cardiac failure (CCF). A SO positive was found in 25 (44.6%) cases. The most common valvular lesion was mitral regurgitation (MR). Moderate to severe mitral regurgitation was found in 89% of cases. Tricuspid regurgitation (T R) was found in 57% of patients and aortic regurgitation (AR) in 55% of cases. Thirty-two patients (57%} had PAH in which 8 patients has severe PAH and 24 patients had mild to moderate PAH. Infective endocarditis was diagnosed in twenty patients (35.7%). Out of 20 patients 14 (70%)had vegetation in echocardiography. The mortality was 11% in this study. Conclusion: Infective endocarditis is the major complication of rheumatic heart disease among children of Nepal and so clinical suspecian is important whenever patients with rheumatic heart disease present with fever.
