Abstract
Contemporary studies of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) within American Indian communities are lacking, despite recent work indicating high rates of group A streptococcus, the precursor to RHD. Utilizing retrospective chart review of the Indian Health Service, we sought to characterize the burden of acute rheumatic fever and RHD within an American Indian tribe in Eastern Arizona. Our study found that, in line with other high-income countries, RHD in the US continues to disproportionately impact native peoples, with rates 10 times that of the general population.
尽管最近的研究表明 A 组链球菌（风湿性心脏病的前驱菌）的发病率很高，但目前还缺乏对美国印第安人社区风湿性心脏病（RHD）的研究。我们利用印第安人健康服务机构的回顾性病历审查，试图描述亚利桑那州东部一个美国印第安人部落中急性风湿热和风湿性心脏病的负担。我们的研究发现，与其他高收入国家一样，美国的风湿性心脏病仍然对原住民造成了极大的影响，发病率是普通人群的 10 倍。
