Abstract
Background: Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is an important public health problem in developing countries. Subclinical carditis (SCC) that is detected only by echocardiogram without audible heart murmurs is relatively common in ARF. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of SCC in patients of ARF in a specialized center in Bangladesh.
