Originated 11th July 1916 France. Reported sick with cardiac palpitation & swelling of legs. Found to be suffering from mitral regurgitation, his condition has not materially improved since he has been in hospital. He is suffering from effects of dilitation of the heart and mitral regurgitation. The apex beat (?) is one inch outside the nipple line. He is breathless on exertion. The result of active service overexertion and strain. Permanent.

Hi, A bout of rheumatic fever can result in problems with the mitral valve in the heart. My late father was turned down for service in the Navy during WW2 because of mitral murmur caused through rheumatic fever.
