The WHF 2012 criteria provide clear guidance for the echocardiographic diagnosis of RHD that is reproducible and applicable to a range of echocardiographic technology. Furthermore, the criteria are highly specific and particularly accurate for detecting definite RHD. There are limitations in applying all aspects of the criteria in specific settings, including task-sharing. This summary of evidence can inform the updated version of the WHF guidelines to ensure improved applicability in all RHD endemic regions.
