Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that follows a strep infection. It can affect many tissues, especially the heart, joints, skin, or brain. The infection may cause heart damage, particularly scarring of the heart valves. This forces the heart to work harder than usual to pump blood.
The highest credit score one can have ranges from 760-850. A poor credit score would be in the range of 500-579. Poor credit ratings can prevent one from obtaining mortgages â¦ and approvals on loans.
A surprising number of people have a score above 700, with the largest percentage â 27%, according to some estimates â between 750-799. So, according to most sources, Americans have pretty good credit â at least enough to qualify them for the best interest rates on mortgages and credit cards. In a recent study from Experian (March 2008), the credit bureau officially calculated the national average credit score at 692. Thatâs not bad, by most standards. But, like everything else, that score is relative to what the market will bear.
