Rheumatic heart disease remains prevalent in some regions of Australia and New Zealand. Echocardiography is the gold standard for detection and diagnosis using the 2023 World Heart Federation guidelines. The guidelines describe specific features of mitral and aortic valve morphology and define pathological regurgitation associated with RHD. The aim of this education piece was to assist cardiac sonographers and reporting specialists in the accurate detection, diagnosis, and classification of RHD findings. We present the echocardiographic features of RHD as defined by the 2023 WHF guidelines, including a poster summarising the individual criteria for diagnosis.
风湿性心脏病在澳大利亚和新西兰的一些地区仍然很普遍。根据2023年世界心脏联盟指南，超声心动图是检测和诊断的金标准。该指南描述了二尖瓣和主动脉瓣形态的具体特征，并定义了与风湿性心脏病相关的病理性反流。本教育资料的目的是帮助心脏超声检查人员和报告专家准确检测、诊断和分类风湿性心脏病的检查结果。我们展示了2023年世界心脏联盟指南所定义的风湿性心脏病的超声心动图特征，包括一张总结个体诊断标准的海报。
