Rheumatic heart disease is the most common heart disease in developing countries. This Global Health Report uses the results of screening 28,050 school children clinically with 2-dimensional echocardiography. A total of 1,739 students had cardiac murmur, with the most dominant lesion being rheumatic mitral regurgitation. This report concluded that the burden of rheumatic heart disease is decreasing, but it is still significant in Nepal. That is why echocardiographic screening is important in early diagnosis and management. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
