Other rheumatic aortic valve diseases - what does this mean
Other rheumatic aortic valve diseases occur when the aortic valve becomes damaged due to rheumatic fever, an inflammatory reaction caused by an infection with streptococcus bacteria. the valve damage can lead to a narrowing of the valve, which can cause a decrease in blood flow and an increase in pressure in the heart. this can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and heart palpitations.
What happens during the disease - other rheumatic aortic valve diseases
Other rheumatic aortic valve diseases are caused by an autoimmune response to a viral or bacterial infection, which leads to inflammation of the aortic valve and surrounding tissues. this causes the valve to become thickened, rigid, and unable to open and close properly, leading to a decrease in blood flow and an increase in pressure in the left ventricle. this can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.
