Rheumatic fever can be prevented by effectively and promptly treating strep throat with antibiotics. In those who have previously had rheumatic fever, antibiotics in a preventative manner are occasionally recommended. As of 2017 the evidence to support long term antibiotics in those with underlying disease is poor. The American Heart Association suggests that dental health be maintained, and that people with a history of bacterial endocarditis, a heart transplant, artificial heart<unk> s, or "some types of congenital heart defects" may wish to consider long-term antibiotic prophylaxis.
