Abstract :

Rheumatic fever (RF) and Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) continue to be a major health hazard which also accounts for 30–40% of cardiac cases hospitalized and biggest cause of cardiac mortalities in India. Hence study was designed to get the clinical and 2 D echo correlation of the diseases for betterment of treatment modalities. Primarily after doing clinical examination of diagnosed cases of mitral stenosis (MS) 2D echo was performed and severity of the disease was assessed. The patients who were assessed clinically regarding severity of MS did not correlate with the severity assessed by 2D echocardiography because we found it is difficult to grade the patient’s severity on the basis of symptoms and clinical examination as they were influence by many variables. Hence 2D Echocardiography evaluation is also needed which could help us in possible early detection, better management of the disease to reduce the complications providing better life expectancy.
