Abstract:

Quantification of radiological damage in inflammatory arthritis is important. It has proven its value in clinical trials, but its use in clinical practice is becoming more important as well. Scoring methods for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis are available. These differ in the joints and features assessed. This results in differences in the scoring range, but also in the method of performance. The various methods for the three diseases are detailed in this chapter. Most information is available for rheumatoid and for this disease the relationship between radiological damage and long-term outcome is summarised.

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...
