Funded Activity Summary

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is rare in developed countries except in indigenous populations where there is a shortage of quality health care, overcrowding, poverty and poor nutrition as in remote Australia. Advanced RHD affects the heart valves which can lead to heart failure, an increased risk of stroke and infection of the heart. The aim of this research project will be to inform the development of rational and evidence-based recommendations for the management of advanced RHD.
