Rheumatic Heart Disease 1
This condition results from chronic valvular lesions caused by rheumatic heart disease, leading to valve stenosis or insufficiency, which disrupts normal blood flow, causing enlargement of the ventricles and atria, eventually surpassing the heart’s compensatory capacity, resulting in arrhythmias and heart failure. Clinical symptoms include dyspnea, hemoptysis, palpitations, coughing, and angina pectoris.
The cause is related to infection by hemolytic streptococcus, primarily involving systemic allergic reactions, mainly affecting joints, heart valves, and myocardium. Common secret and folk remedies for rheumatic heart disease are as follows.
