INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe the predictors of hospital mortality found in patients admitted for infective endocarditis (IE) to a cardiovascular surgery ward. Patients and method. Prospective study of 186 patients with IE treated in our hospital between 1992 and 2001. RESULTS One hundred fourteen patients (61.3%) had native valve endocarditis and 72 (38.7%...
BACKGROUND Infective endocarditis caused by non-HACEK (species other than Haemophilus species, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens, or Kingella species) gram-negative bacilli is rare, is poorly characterized, and is commonly considered to be primarily a disease of injection drug users. OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical characteristics and outcom...
BACKGROUND The literature on infective endocarditis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is virtually confined to case reports. Consequently, the risk of endocarditis in HCM remains undefined. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed the occurrence of endocarditis in 810 HCM patients evaluated between 1970 and 1997. Endocarditis was diagnosed in 10 patients, 2 of whom were excluded from analysis of pr...
Endocarditis is a disease characterized by inflammation or infection of the inner surface of the heart (the endocardium). This article will focus on endocarditis that is the result of infection (infective endocarditis). Endocarditis commonly affects heart valves, but may also involve nonvalvular areas or mechanical devices that are implanted in the heart, such as artificial heart valves, pacema...
Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(10):1145-7 1145 The profile of infective endocarditis has changed substantially over time. The traditional form of the disease, which affects patients with rheumatic valvular disease caused by Streptococcus viridans, has become less common. Recent studies,1 as well as the European Heart Survey on Valvular Diseases2 and the ICE (International Collaboration on Endocarditi...
Although echocardiography is fundamental in diagnosing infective endocarditis, sometimes it reveals no evidence of endocarditis while clinical indicators remain consistent with the diagnosis. In such cases, repeat imaging necessary, and appropriate timeline for whether should be done transthoracic (TTE), trans esophageal (TEE), or an advanced method are important.
Serum fluorescent streptococcal antibody tests were carried out on 71 patients with clinically suspected infective endocarditis, and a final diagnosis of endocarditis was obtained in 46 patients. A serological diagnosis of streptococcal endocarditis was obtained in 10 patients who had persistently negative blood cultures, as fluorescent streptococcal antibody titres equal to or greater than 400...
introduction fungal prosthetic valve endocarditis (pve) is rare but serious complication of valve replacement surgery. candida species, particularly candida albicans is the most common isolated pathogen in fungal pve (1–6%of cases). case presentation we describe a 35-year-old woman who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement about 3 years ago. she was admitted with neurological symptoms a...
endocarditis due to aspergillus infection is a rare complication in patients with hematological malignancies. here, we present a case of aspergillus endocarditis in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (aml) successfully treated with antifungal therapy and surgical treatment. the patient was a 51 years old male, a known case of aml who was admitted to our medical center for evacuating his valv...
Atrial septal endocarditis can occur as an isolated event or in association with valvular endocarditis. It is also reported following percutaneous device closure of atrial septal defects. We present the echocardiography findings from a young man presenting with endocarditis of an abnormal mitral valve in whom endocarditis was demonstrated associated with an atrial septal defect.
