Objective: The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinical characters of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) in the elder. Methods: Fifty-two cases of RHD age over 45 years were analyzed. Their clinical characters were compared with those in control group (53 cases of 14-44 years old) in the same period. Results: Compared with the control group, the history of typical rheumatic fever and clinical evidances of active rheumatic fever were less, the course of illness was longer and the associated disease, such as atrial fibrilation and calcification of the mitral valve, were much more, and the mean left atrial diameter was longer in the older Group. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant. Conclusions: All these finding might be helpful in understanding the clinical characters of RHD in elder patients and it suggested that we should actively treat the elder patients with RHD.
