Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1992
This article examines the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of infective endocarditis in elderly persons. Special problems that cause complications and mortality to be higher in older patients than younger patients also are discussed. Areas of active debate and research are mentioned, including the use of diagnostic echocardiography, treatment of ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
The continuing medical literature attests to the fact that infective endocarditis is a serious and complex disease, which in many populations continues to occur at an incidence of approximately 20 per 100,000, and carries a 5% to 40% mortality, depending on numerous pathogen and patient factors.

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 ...

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 ...

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
