Key Points

To explore the occurrence of recurrent rheumatic carditis leading to myocardial dysfunction post-surgery.
Case report detailing the patient's history and clinical findings
Utilization of echocardiography and multimodality imaging for assessment
Monitoring of the patient's cardiac function over time
Documented severe biventricular dysfunction despite a normally functioning mechanical mitral valve
Successful identification of myocardial dysfunction through echocardiography
Management strategies were adjusted based on imaging results

Implication

Case report shows recurrent myocardial dysfunction in ARF patients post-surgery, highlighting echocardiography for diagnosis and management.

Abstract

Recurrent ARF may occur post-surgery and cause myocardial dysfunction. Echocardiography and multimodality imaging are essential for diagnosis and management.
