Infective endocarditis (IE) is lethal if not aggressively treated with antibiotics alone or in combination with surgery. The epidemiology of this condition has substantially changed over the past four decades, especially in industrialized countries. Once a disease that predominantly affected young adults with previously well-identified valve disease ...

Management Considerations in Infective Endocarditis: A Review
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2018Importance Infective endocarditis occurs in approximately 15 of 100 000 people in the United States and has increased in incidence. Clinicians must make treatment decisions with respect to prophylaxis, surgical management, specific antibiotics, and the ...

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice
Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a universally fatal condition if left unmanaged, requiring urgent evaluation and treatment. Fever, new heart murmur, vegetations found by echocardiogram, and bacteremia are the most common symptoms and findings. Blood cultures and echocardiography are obligatory diagnostic modalities and should be used with the modified ...

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
Infective endocarditis remains a serious and potentially fatal disease. Even with appropriate therapy, mortality rates remain at about 10% to 20%. Common errors in treatment include starting antibiotics before obtaining at least three blood cultures, failing to use bactericidal drugs, stopping therapy too early, and delaying heart surgery when it is ...

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1994
For a long time it has been known that bacteraemias caused by medical or dental procedures may cause endocarditis in patients with specific types of congenital or acquired heart disease. In the 1940s it was thought that the administration of antibiotics before such procedures would prevent endocarditis. However, the beneficial effect of this preventive

Current Problems in Cardiology, 2001
Despite improvements in antibiotic regimens, patients with infective endocarditis (IE) have a high risk of valve replacement and death. Effective initial treatment depends on two steps: 1) diagnosis of the infecting organism, enabling specific antibiotic therapy, and 2) complete characterization of the anatomic extent of infection.

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1980
Three cases of endocarditis confirmed at autopsy were identified in an intensive care nursery during an eight-month period. Echocardiography demonstrated abnormal echoes in the region of the mitral valve in one infant and the tricuspid valve in the other two infants.

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2004
Recent advances in medicine have caused fungal endocarditis (FE) to be a more common disease entity. Many fungi are potential pathogens in FE, although Candida species and Aspergillus species are the most common. Valvular heart disease is the necessary underlying condition for FE, with intravenous devices and antibiotic use being the predisposing ...

Abstract Imaging plays a key role in the assessment of infective endocarditis. Echocardiography, particularly transoesophageal echocardiography, gives useful information concerning the diagnosis of infective endocarditis, the assessment of the severity of the disease, the prediction of short-term and long-term prognosis, and the follow ...
