Episode 6
Monday, 31 August, 2026

In this episode, we discuss the Series on Rheumatic Heart Disease published jointly by The Lancet Microbe and The Lancet Regional Health – Americas. We cover why this Series matters to the scientific community, how neglected the disease remains, its incidence across the Americas, and how it's managed in the populations most affected. We also examine the clinical and microbiological challenges in diagnosis, and what's next for vaccine development and treatment.
