  Q: How does rheumatic fever affect the mitral valve? A: Rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated strep throat and was once a common childhood illness in the United States. Rheumatic fever can damage the mitral valve in two main ways. [columbiasurgery.org]

  Rheumatic fever, since the advent of routine penicillin administration for Strep throat, has become less common in developed countries. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Call your doctor if you have symptoms of an infection (sore throat, general body achiness, and fever). Colds and flus do not cause endocarditis. But, infections, which may have the same symptoms, do. So, to be safe, call your doctor. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  There was no history suggestive of rheumatic fever in early childhood. [casereports.in]

• Collapse

  When the heart pumps (contracts) part of one or both flaps collapse backward into the left atrium. In some cases, the prolapsed valve lets a small amount of blood leak backward through the valve, which may cause a heart murmur. [heart.org]

  Clinical examination revealed high volume non-collapsing pulse, cardiomegaly with ill sustained apex, non-ejection click and a late systolic murmur grade III/VI accentuated with standing and Valsalva maneuverer. [casereports.in]

  Chad Schieber, a 35-year-old otherwise healthy man, and Rachael Townsend, 29, a physically fit young woman, both collapsed and died during this marathon in 2007 and 2003 respectively. 13 Both participants were found to have mitral valve prolapse, generating [acc.org]

  Fire fighters entered the structure to find moderate heat conditions, zero visibility, and a collapsed floor. They began fire extinguishment without success and backed out of the structure. Aerial 9 ventilated the roof. [cdc.gov]

• Weakness

  This rare entity teaches us myxomatous degeneration can make the bellies of the leaflet so weak that such a huge prolapse can happen with intact chordae and it reminds us the age old teaching: always try to repair the valve, not to replace it. [casereports.in]

  If regurgitation continues for too long, the heart may be too weak to undergo surgery. Surgical treatment for MVP may involve either mitral valve repair or replacement. [primehealthchannel.com]

  However, due to methodological weakness of this research, further evidence is needed to confirm these results. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to bitter orange or any members of the Rutaceae family. [livingnaturally.com]
