2016, Handbook of Systemic Autoimmune DiseasesCitation Excerpt :We have to be aware of carditis until the sixth week of acute phase. Some authors have drawn attention to the existence of subclinical carditis, that is, to the rheumatic carditis detected just by Doppler echocardiography [38–40]. Murmurs present during the acute phase do not indicate a permanent valvular defect, and in the majority of cases (60%), they are transient.
Valvular Regurgitation Using Portable Echocardiography in a Healthy Student Population: Implications for Rheumatic Heart Disease Screening
2015, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :The present study, using portable echocardiographic platforms, shows prevalence figures within the range of previous studies using large-platform echocardiographic technology. Great care must be taken when interpreting echocardiograms to separate physiologic from pathologic MR, but this cutoff is still arbitrary.14 A body of literature about this has arisen in descriptions of carditis in ARF.14,18
