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.

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.

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 ...

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.
