Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Your doctors were surprised because they did not understand what you were mentioning. I am sorry to say that there is no medical terminology like arthritic heart. I request you to go through you medical records once again and request you to come up with the right diagnosis they might have mentioned in those records.
May be you were mentioning regarding rhuematic fever in your childhood. Here in this particular disorder after a throat infection a child gets problem with the heart and migrating joint pains. He is placed on antibiotic for a long term to prevent further attacks of infection of the throat.
Though there is correlation between heart disease and arthritis for example rheumatoid arthritis.
Please go through your previous records and mention the right diagnosis so that I can help you better.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
