The lesions may be located on the undersurfaces of the atrioventricular valves, on the valvular endocardium, on the cords, or on the mural endocardium of atria or ventricles. o An intense valvulitis may be present, characterized by fibrinoid necrosis of the valve substance that is often contiguous with the vegetation. o Subsequent fibrosis and serious deformity can result that resemble chronic RHD and require surgery.
