HEART
DISEASE
Presented by
Dr. Thein Tun
2nd Dr.D.Sc (Oral Medicine)
Pathogenesis
An acute attack of streptococcal pharyngitis by
Myocarditis.
Pericarditis: "bread and butter", due to fibrinous
inflammation
Endocarditis: edema, inflammation and fibrin
deposits on valve leaflets (vegetations) along lines
of closure. Mostly mitral and aortic valves.
Aschoff nodules are uncommon in the valves.

B. Chronic phase
Acute changes may resolve completely or progress
to scarring and development of chronic valvular
deformities many years after the acute disease.

HEART DISEASE

Complications
1. Embolic complications:
Detached septic vegetations leads to
systemic pyemia.
2. Toxemic complications:
Severe toxemia
15
Prognosis
Rapidly fatal due to;
1. Severe toxemia (septicemia).
2. Cusp perforation (acute heart failure).

Complications

1. Embolic complications:
Infarctions: in kidney, spleen and brain, retina, heart.
Mycotic aneurysms: mainly in cerebral and mesenteric.
Petechial hemorrhage: in skin, mucous membranes and
serous membranes.
Oslers nodules: small. tender, intracutaneous nodules in
pulps of fingers & toes.
2. Toxemic complications:
Moderate toxemia: fever, anemia, clubbing of fingers,

Prognosis
Heal by fibrosis leads to valve lesion either stenosis or
incompetence.
