Rheumatic Heart Diseases

18 October 2025

Rheumatic heart disease is a long-term complication of rheumatic fever, where persistent inflammation damages one or more heart valves—most commonly the mitral and aortic valves. Over time, this can lead to valve narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation), affecting normal blood flow and putting extra strain on the heart.

At Ayulife Heart Care Center, we provide holistic and non-invasive care to help manage rheumatic heart conditions, improve blood circulation, and reduce inflammation. Our integrative approach combines modern monitoring with Ayurvedic therapies to protect the valves, strengthen cardiac muscles, and support long-term heart health.

At Dr. Mithra’s Ayulife Heart Care Center, Kottayam, we focus on restoring balance and preventing further valve damage through:

  • Ayurvedic therapies to reduce inflammation and improve valve function
  • Herbal formulations to support immunity and prevent recurrent infections
  • Diet and lifestyle guidance to reduce cardiac strain
  • Stress-relieving practices like yoga, pranayama, and Panchakarma therapies
  • Regular evaluation and follow-up to monitor heart rhythm and valve performance
