Summary

Chronic rheumatic heart disease affecting all four heart valves is rare. This study details three cases, confirming tricuspid and pulmonary valve involvement with advanced imaging and surgical verification, with successful surgical outcomes in two patients.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) commonly affects mitral and aortic valves.
  • Isolated or combined involvement of tricuspid and pulmonary valves in RHD is less frequent.
  • Comprehensive diagnostic approaches are crucial for accurate RHD assessment.

Observation:

  • Presents three cases of chronic rheumatic heart disease.
  • Clinical suspicion of tricuspid and pulmonary valve involvement was investigated.
  • All four heart valves were affected in each case.

Findings:

  • Two-dimensional echocardiography, Doppler, hemodynamic, and angiographic studies confirmed valve disease.
  • Surgical and histopathological verification was performed in two cases.

  • Successful surgical intervention was achieved in two out of three patients.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of evaluating all four valves in chronic rheumatic heart disease.
    • Demonstrates the utility of integrated diagnostic methods for complex valve pathology.
    • Emphasizes the potential for successful surgical management even in advanced RHD cases.
