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.

New England Journal of Medicine, 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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Infective Endocarditis in Adults
New England Journal of Medicine, 2001The clinical features of this complex infection have changed in the past several decades. It is now an infection of older people, and mitral-valve prolapse is the most common predisposing cardiovascular problem in developed countries. In contrast, rheumatic heart disease is an important predisposing problem in developing countries.

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
