Abstract
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) disproportionately affects Indigenous Australians in remote areas. Surveillance requires access to specialised medical care including echocardiography to ensure prompt valvular intervention. Patients with severe valvular disease or previous valvular intervention are classed Priority 1 (P1) and recommended 6-monthly echocardiograms. Given the vast distances and limited resources in Central Australia, we reviewed current adherence to Australian surveillance guidelines.
