Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Is rheumatic heart disease hereditary?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for patients with rheumatic heart disease, the probability of hereditary transmission across generations is by no means very high. There is no need to be overly anxious or worried. Such patients should pay attention to preventing colds, avoid getting chilled, and take care to rest, minimizing physical activity to prevent colds and prevent the recurrence of acute infections. Regular medical check-ups and laboratory tests should be conducted periodically, and medication should be adjusted based on the results.
