How to prevent rheumatic heart disease?

Patient's question:

The lady living opposite my house suddenly had a heart attack today. Fortunately, I noticed it and took her to the hospital. After a thorough examination, the doctor said it was rheumatic heart disease. My parents are getting older now, and it's also possible for them to experience such illnesses in the future. I want to ask the doctor how to prevent rheumatic heart disease?

Doctor's answer:

If there are some rheumatic systemic diseases now, then it should be prevented. Do not get rheumatic heart disease, and must use anti-rheumatic drugs for symptomatic treatment. Moreover, if you want to prevent this disease, you should pay attention to your diet and not eat too much greasy food. You must control your blood pressure and blood sugar, and you also cannot let yourself be too tired or have too much psychological stress.
