Infective endocarditis is a condition that still carries a high morbidity and mortality rate (20-30%) despite modern antibiotics and surgical treatment. Rapid diagnosis, effective treatment, and prompt recognition of complications are essential to good patient outcome. The infection, usually caused by bacteria, invades the innermost lining of the heart and can damage heart valves, connective tissue and the heart chambers themselves.
The prevalence of infective endocarditis is between 1.7 and 4 people per 100,000, and is most commonly found in people w If untreated, mortality is extremely high.
