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.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2018
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon infection of cardiac valves associated with bacteremia. It increasingly affects elderly patients with chronic disease and artificial cardiac devices. The presentation, however, remains subtle and varied, with nonspecific symptoms ranging from those resembling a mild viral infection to septic shock and ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
Endocarditis continues to be a popular subject among medical authors. A steady stream of new papers describes evolving aspects of epidemiology, clinical manifestations, natural history, and management. Significant developments include refinements in echocardiography and diagnostic criteria, and the introduction of improved surgical techniques for ...

### Learning objectives Endocarditis is defined as inflammation of the endocardium, the lining of the cardiac chambers and valves, and characterised by vegetations, most commonly caused by infection with bacteria or fungi. Non-infective endocarditis, also known as non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) or aseptic endocarditis, refers to a rare ...

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 ...

Pacemaker infective endocarditis
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1998We identified 33 patients with definite pacemaker endocarditis--that is, with direct evidence of infective endocarditis, based on surgery or autopsy histologic findings of or bacteriologic findings (Gram stain or culture) of valvular vegetation or electrode-tip wire vegetation.

Acute infective endocarditis is an important cardiovascular emergency that can be detected with improved diagnostic techniques. In the last few decades we have witnessed a changing spectrum of microorganisms causing infective endocarditis. Successful treatment of infective endocarditis is enhanced by the combined and cooperative efforts of the ...

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1993
As compared to the characterization of IE in the 1970s and early 1980s, it appears that IE in the 1990s is more likely to present acutely and in association with fewer classic stigmata and is more likely to be caused by S. aureus. Whether this represents a true clinical and microbiological shift in disease spectrum or is the result of reporting bias is
