    Infective endocarditis frequently leads to cardiac failure, particularly in older males with pre-existing valve conditions like aortic or mitral insufficiency. Streptococcus is a common cause, with dental procedures a frequent entry point.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Medicine

    Context:

    • Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious infection affecting heart valves.
    • Cardiac failure is a significant complication of IE with high morbidity and mortality.
    • Understanding predisposing and prognostic factors is crucial for managing IE patients.

    Purpose:

    • To identify factors predisposing to cardiac failure in IE patients.
    • To determine prognostic indicators for cardiac failure in IE.
    • To explore therapeutic implications for cardiac failure complicating IE.

    Summary:

    • This study analyzed 101 IE cases, finding 52% developed cardiac failure, often biventricular and presenting symptomatically.
    • Pre-existing cardiac lesions, especially acquired valvular insufficiency (aortic/mitral), were common (48%).

  • Streptococcus was the most frequent pathogen (53%), with dental procedures a common entry point (25%). Arrhythmias (51%) and conduction defects (26%) were also prevalent.

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight the high incidence of cardiac failure in IE and its association with specific cardiac conditions and pathogens.
    • Early identification of risk factors can guide preventative strategies and treatment.
    • Echocardiography aids in detecting vegetations, and valve replacement may be necessary for refractory cases.
