Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry in severe rheumatic heart disease (RHD) identifies a proteomic signature showing ongoing inflammation and effectively classifying RHD cases

M. Taariq Salie et al.

Summary: By using SWATH-MS, this study identified several biomarkers that showed significant changes in protein expression levels in patients with RHD, indicating a persistent inflammatory response. These biomarkers have the potential to be used as tools for recognizing different degrees of ongoing inflammation in RHD patients.

The Genetic Control of the Rheumatic Heart: Closing the Genotype-Phenotype Gap

Atiyeh M. Abdallah et al.

Summary: Rheumatic heart disease is a heritable inflammatory condition characterized by carditis, arthritis, and systemic disease. Recent research has made promising advances in understanding its genetics, but the mechanisms driving clinical progression are still poorly understood. Genetic factors and individual cell types play important roles in the disease's development, with large-scale omics studies expected to provide new insights for future clinical translation.
