Rheumatic heart disease describes a group of short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) heart disorders that can occur as a result of rheumatic fever. One common result of rheumatic fever is heart valve damage. This damage to the heart valves may lead to a valve disorder.
Of course we all want the best, but the highest possible credit score â the 850 FICO â is almost unattainable. In fact, there are many loan officers that have been in the business for years who have said theyâve never seen a perfect 850 credit score before.
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.
