Hi, you had cardiomyopathy, 18 months ago, and cleared of it, and you are comfertable now. It seems there is no rheumatic heart disease, so there is no possibility of the one you are suspecting.
Rheumatic heart disease is also not a notorius killer if it is attended promptly, so dont worry, you are not expected to have it. Thank you.
