PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF RHEUMATIC FEVER

Rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated streptococcal throat infection caused by group A streptococci bacteria.The infection damages body tissues by causing inflammation to tissues; the most affected being the hearts valves where scar tissues form to replace the damaged parts of the valve.in the process, the valves may be narrowed or shotenned (see.. valvular heart disease)  thus causing them to ineffectively close or open during cardiovascular activity, as a result, the heart tends to pump harder to compensate for this defect and thus lead to Rheumatic heart disease that is characterised by chest pain, palpitations, and swollen/edematous peripheral organs as a result of inadequate cardiac functions, a state that if prolonged leads to congestive cardiac failure.
