“…Globally, RHD is affecting around 70 million people whereas the Indian burden of the disease ranges from 0.2 to 1.1/1000 [2,3]. In studies performed by Berry [4] and Mathur [5] on urban population of Chandigarh and Agra, RHD prevalence was found to be 1.87/1000 and 1.8/1000 in 5-30 years old subjects respectively. Contrary to the burden of RHD on developed countries, which has come down gradually, it still remains prominent cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing countries of the world [3].…”

Background: We aimed to determine the overall prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), atherosclerotic risk factors and clinical profile of patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) undergoing valvular interventions in Asian Indians. Method: This was an all comers, observational, prospective study of 757 rheumatic patients, who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) prior to percutaneous balloon valvulotomy, surgical valvular repair or replacement from July 2011 to December 2013. Among them who had significant CAD (stenosis ≥50%) (Group A), were compared with similar number of age and sex matched patients of RHD without CAD (Group B). Result: The overall prevalence of CAD in the patients undergoing valvular intervention was 9.1% (66.7% males, 33.3% female; mean age 55.20±8.6). The CAD incidence in patients with mitral, aortic and both valve replacement were 24.1%, 10.8% and 6.1% respectively. The prevalence of smoking habit (33.3% vs. 20.9%), diabetes (24.6% vs. 3.1%), hypertension (21.7% vs. 6.8%), postmenopausal status (65.2% vs. 18.4%), family history of CAD (17.4% vs. 8.3%) and aortic valve disease (10.1%) was significantly higher in group A as compared to group B except for obesity (11.5% vs. 18.7%). Conclusion: Prevalence of CAD in patients with valvular heart disease in western population of Asian Indians is 9.1%. Coronary angiography should be performed in patients having CAD risk factors, irrespective of the valvular lesion involved.

“…Rheumatic heart disease is well known to be the main cardiac disease in India (Hughes and Yusuf, 1930;Mathur, 1960; Padmavathy and Datey, 1970). There are differences between rheumatic heart disease as seen in India and as reported from Western countries.…”

“…Hospital admission data [Table 1] show a decline in admission rates of RF/RHD overtime period. RF/RHD accounted for 30%–50% of total admissions until the early 1980s, and it declined to 5%–26% in the late 1990s 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. Whether the declining trends in admission rate truly reflects the decreasing incidence is much to be debated.…”

The rheumatic heart disease continues to be an important cause of disease burden in India, affecting the population in their prime and productive phase of the life. The prevalence of rheumatic heart disease is varied in different Indian studies, because of the inclusion of different populations at different point of times and using different screening methods for the diagnosis. The data on incidence and prevalence on a nationally represented sample are lacking. There is a need for establishing a population-based surveillance system in the country for monitoring trends, management practices, and outcomes to formulate informed guidelines for initiating contextual interventions for prevention and control of rheumatic heart disease.
