Enhancing the prevention, diagnosis and management of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease in Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander Populations

我是一名健康研究员，专注于改善澳大利亚土著居民风湿性心脏病(RHD)的诊断和护理。我正在研究使用心脏超声来检测土著儿童风湿性心脏病的早期阶段。及早发现可以导致更早的治疗，因此减少心脏损伤。我还打算通过评估卫生服务来确定哪些因素会改善风湿性心脏病患者的预后，从而改善对风湿性心脏病患者的护理。

I am a health researcher focused on improving the diagnosis and care of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in Indigenous Australians. I am examining the use of heart ultrasounds to detect the earliest stages of RHD in Indigenous children. Earlier detection can lead to earlier treatment and therefore less heart damage. I also intend to improve care for people with RHD by evaluating health services to determine what factors enhance outcomes for people with RHD.
