Dr. Liu Xiangfei
Hello, patients with rheumatic heart disease may experience the following symptoms: 1. Dyspnea (shortness of breath); 2. Angina pectoris—pain intensifies as valve stenosis worsens and age increases; 3. Chest pain—this is the most common symptom of rheumatic heart disease; 4. Syncope—sudden, transient loss of consciousness. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
