    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Rheumatology
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Acute rheumatic carditis can lead to severe heart failure.
    • Medical management including steroids and salicylates may be insufficient for advanced cases.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with acute rheumatic carditis and severe heart failure.
    • Aggressive medical therapy failed to improve their condition.
    • Cardiac catheterization revealed severe aortic and mitral regurgitation with preserved contractility.

    Findings:

    • Emergency double valve replacement was successfully performed in both patients.
    • Surgical intervention resulted in marked clinical improvement.

    Implications:
