Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1997
Endocarditis remains a major worldwide problem despite significant advances in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. This review centers on the recent studies that have been published in the past year concerning the epidemiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of infective and noninfective endocarditis in both the general and special high ...

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 ...

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 ...

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2014
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a noncontagious infection of the endocardium and heart valves. The epidemiology of IE has shifted recently with an increase in health care-associated IE. Infective endocarditis requiring intensive care unit stay is increasing, and nosocomial IE is frequently responsible.

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1985
Abstract:Echocardiography diagnosis of a case of endocarditis, subsequently proven to be due to a chlamydial organism, is described. Early echocardiographic diagnosis guided initial medical management and directed urgent surgical intervention when the patient deteriorated. Reported cases of chlamydial endocarditis are reviewed.

The Lancet
First described more than 350 years ago, infective endocarditis represents a global health concern characterised by infections affecting the native or prosthetic heart valves, the mural endocardium, a septal defect, or an indwelling cardiac device. Over recent decades, shifts in causation and epidemiology have been observed.

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2004
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 ...

Southern Medical Journal, 2011
Fungal infections of the heart are increasingly described especially in immunocompromised patients. Cardiac involvement can present with myocarditis, pericarditis or endocarditis. Cryptococcal endocarditis is extremely rare, with only four reported cases in the literature.

Medical Clinics of North America, 1995
IE is a fascinating disease that continues to challenge the clinicians. Over the last several decades, there have been marked changes in its presentation. The morbidity and mortality have markedly improved by early diagnosis and prompt treatment using highly effective antibiotic regimens and early valve replacement surgery whenever necessary.
