Pulmonary tuberculosis is considered among the most common air-borne respiratory disease. TB is found almost all over the globe but it is also curable and preventable. However, it frequently has several negative consequences on the lung, which affects the patient's exercise tolerance capacity, everyday activities, and, ultimately, quality of life....

Rheumatic heart disease is one of the principal contributors that has a negative influence on a patient's quality of life and makes it challenging for them to perform their daily activities. The disorder predominantly impairs the function of heart valves, specifically the mitral valve, resulting in stenosis that can be managed by repair or replacem...
