    Rheumatic fever is not the primary cause of acquired valvular disease. Degenerative changes, often of unknown origin, are more common, with distinct morphological differences observed between patients with and without rheumatic fever history.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pathology
    • Histopathology of Cardiac Valves

    Context:

    • Acquired valvular defects affect all four cardiac valves.
    • Previous understanding implicated rheumatic fever as a dominant cause.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the histologic, histochemical, and ultrastructural changes in cardiac valve leaflets.
    • To determine the role of rheumatic fever in acquired valvular disease etiology.
    • To differentiate morphological changes based on rheumatic fever history.

    Summary:

    • Analysis of 50 patients revealed organic changes in all valve leaflets, causing dysfunction.
    • Rheumatic fever was present in 16 patients; absent in 34.
    • Degenerative changes of unknown etiology were most prevalent.
    • Morphological differences were observed: vascularization, fibrosis, and hyalinization in rheumatic fever patients versus myxomatous degeneration in others.

  • These distinct parameters suggest different etiopathogeneses.

    • Impact:

    • Challenges the dominant role of rheumatic fever in acquired valvular disease.
    • Highlights the significance of degenerative changes with unknown etiology.
    • Provides insights into distinct pathogenetic mechanisms of valvular dysfunction based on morphological findings.
