    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Equine Cardiology

    Background:

    • Endocarditis, inflammation of the heart's inner lining, affects horses.
    • Diagnosis can be complicated by negative blood cultures, necessitating necropsy examination.

    Observation:

    • Necropsy was performed on six horses (five males) aged three months to fourteen years with endocarditis.
    • Five horses presented with single or complex valvular involvement; one had non-infectious thrombi.
    • Mitral valves were affected in four horses, and aortic valves in two.

    Findings:

    • Two horses had a clinical diagnosis of valvular endocarditis with negative blood cultures.
    • Postmortem bacterial isolation from valvular vegetations occurred in two horses.
    • Candida parapsilosis was identified in one horse, alongside infarcts in the kidneys and myocardium of four horses.

    Implications:

    • Necropsy is crucial for diagnosing equine endocarditis, especially when blood cultures are negative.
    • Understanding the patterns of valvular and organ involvement aids in comprehending disease pathogenesis.
    • Identification of causative agents like bacteria and fungi informs potential treatment and prevention strategies.
