ARF and RHD Guidelines application

The Guidelines app includes a summary of key information from the ARF and RHD Guidelines and an ARF diagnosis calculator.

The Guidelines app is designed to support the Australian health workforce with clinical aspects of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. It contains key information from the 2020 Australian guideline for prevention, diagnosis and management of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease (3rd edition) including primary prevention, diagnosis, and management of ARF, and information about the management of RHD, including secondary prevention. It also contains contact information for the Australian RHD register and control programs, and requirements for notification of ARF and RHD in relevant jurisdictions.

ARF Diagnosis Calculator

The ARF diagnosis calculator guides clinical suspicion of acute rheumatic fever based on personal risk factors and presenting symptoms. The algorithm aligns with the 2015 American Heart Association revision of the Jones Criteria for diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever, which has been endorsed by the World Heart Federation. More information is available in the 2020 Australian guideline for prevention, diagnosis and management of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease (3rd edition).
