Abstract excerpt
Rheumatic heart valve disease (RHD) is a chronic immune valvular heart disease caused by rheumatic fever, primarily affecting the mitral and aortic valves. It often leads to atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and even premature death. Currently, there are no effective therapeutic drugs available, partially due to the lack of appropriate therapeutic targets. To identify therapeutic targets for RHD, we employed a...
