Rheumatic heart disease, a consequence of acute rheumatic fever, is a disease of poverty. Despite a dramatic reduction of RHD in Australia overall, it continues to be a major contributor to childhood and adult cardiac disease in Indigenous communities. These studies seek to enhance the detection of patients with suspected ARF and improve the prediction of the development of future RHD. We will demonstrate changes in heart muscle and valve structure and function using non-invasive testing.

风湿性心脏病是由急性风湿热引起的，是一种贫困疾病。尽管澳大利亚的RHD总体上大幅减少，但它仍然是土著社区儿童和成人心脏病的主要原因。这些研究旨在加强对疑似ARF患者的检测，并改善对未来RHD发展的预测。我们将展示心肌和瓣膜结构和功能的变化，使用无创测试。
