"Conclusions Systematic screening with echocardiography, as compared with clinical screening, reveals a much higher prevalence of rheumatic heart disease (approximately 10 times as great). Since rheumatic heart disease frequently has devastating clinical consequences and secondary prevention may be effective after accurate identification of early cases, these results have important public health implications."

Along with editorial, argues for the importance of more sensitive screening (like echocardiography) in order to detect the cases of RHD and provide proper secondary prevention.
