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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
Infective Endocarditis (IE) is a known and a well-described complication of congenital and acquired heart disease. Its onset may be related to a procedure (which is commonly dental) or to poor dental hygiene. Use of antibiotics prior to the procedure prevents IE.

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 ...

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.
