Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pericarditis is inflammation of the membranous sac (the pericardium) surrounding the heart.

Answer: J
 Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves are damaged by rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease caused by streptococcal bacteria.

Answer: E
 Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the valve between the left upper and lower chambers of the heart doesn't close properly, allowing blood to leak backwards into the upper chamber. This can lead to inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart (pericarditis).
