Rheumatic heart disease is chronic damage to the heart valves caused by repeated bouts of acute rheumatic fever. Both are preventable, yet rates among Indigenous Australians are of the highest recorded. We propose to undertake the first multi-jurisdictional study of these conditions to determine trends in occurrence and evaluate the impact of existing interventions in Australia. Findings will be used to inform the development of a roadmap to remove RHD as a public health problem in Australia.

风湿性心脏病是由反复发作的急性风湿热引起的心脏瓣膜慢性损伤。两者都是可以预防的，但澳大利亚土著居民的发病率是最高的。我们建议对这些情况进行第一次多司法管辖区研究，以确定发生趋势，并评估澳大利亚现有干预措施的影响。调查结果将用于制定路线图，以消除RHD作为澳大利亚的公共卫生问题。
