| The procedure was uneventful, and the patient has fully recovered without tricuspid valvular dysfunction or other sequelae. |
| The hallmarks of rheumatic fever include arthritis, carditis, cutaneous disease, chorea, and subsequent acquired valvular disease. |

| Narrowing of the arteries and valvular disease of the heart both replace the relative quiet of smooth blood flow with the gurgles of turbulence. |
| Echocardiograms did not reveal left heart dysfunction or valvular disease in any patient. |
| The cases examined here emphasized the marked individual variation in severity and location of valvular lesions induced by anorectic agents. |
