Analysis of the Correlation Between the Expression of T-Helper Type 17 Cell-Related Cytokines and Valve Damage in Rheumatic Heart Disease
The study reveals a significant association between Th17 cell-related cytokine expressions and valve damage in RHD patients, suggesting that targeting these cytokines may offer a promising strategy for treatment and prevention while highlighting their potential as biomarkers for assessing valve damage and the importance of managing inflammation to mitigate further cardiac complications.
