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.

Infective endocarditis is a microbial infection of a cardiac valve or the mural endocardium caused by bacteria or fungi. Forms of this infection include subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) and acute bacterial endocarditis (ABE). Etiology and epidemiology are discussed.

The diagnosis of infective endocarditis remains difficult. The complication rate is very high. Serious complications may occur and the overall mortality is still 20-25%. The sooner the treatment is started, the better the final result. Antibiotic therapy is essential but cardiac surgery is frequently necessary. Early surgery improves outcome.

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 ...

Abstract Infective endocarditis is the term applied to microbial infections involving the endothelial surface of the heart. This infection primarily occurs on the leaflets of heart valves, but occasionally on the low-pressure side of a ventricular septal defect, on chordae tendineae, or on the mural endocardium at the site of impact of a

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.

Infective endocarditis and glycopeptides
Journal of Infection, 1998Despite the number of antibacterial agents currently available, endocarditis remains a difficult disease to treat and the mortality rate has not fallen in recent years. The glycopeptides have good activity against the Gram-positive bacteria commonly implicated in endocarditis (staphylococci, both coagulase-positive and negative; enterococci and ...

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
