rheumatic fever may lead to cardiomegaly (enlarged heart). be sure to notify all medical care givers in the future that you have had this condition. even your dentist. take prophylactic antibiotics anytime you go in to have dental work done. (precautionary measure to prevent an infection of the heart). can lead to valve problems later in life. requires periodic ekg's and evaluation by a physician.
