Global Burden of Rheumatic Heart Disease
The New England Journal of Medicine ( IF 96.2 ) Pub Date : 2018-01-03

However, the authors emphasize mainly heart failure as the burden of rheumatic heart disease, whereas other complications were neglected. Patients with mild rheumatic heart disease that may not be clinically detectable are at increased risk for death and complications from other heart-related causes. For example, transient or sustained atrial fibrillation is sometimes observed in clinically asymptomatic patients with mild or moderate rheumatic mitral stenosis, which is often diagnosed on echocardiography after complications, such as stroke, have occurred.2-4 Stroke, peripheral-artery . . .
