Rheumatic aortic valve diseases - what does this mean
Rheumatic aortic valve disease is caused by an infection of the aortic valve (the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta) with streptococcus bacteria, which leads to inflammation, scarring and calcification of the valve leaflets. this can cause narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation) of the valve, which can lead to a variety of symptoms depending on the severity of the condition.
What happens during the disease - rheumatic aortic valve diseases
Rheumatic aortic valve disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by an incorrect immune response to a previous bacterial or viral infection. this incorrect response causes an inflammatory reaction which damages the aortic valve and its supporting structures, leading to restricted blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. this results in a range of symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
