1. Infective Endocarditis : aspects of pathophysiology, epidemiology, management and prognosis
Sammanfattning : Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but complex disease that is fatal if untreated. With a modern combination of antimicrobial therapy and heart valve surgery, mortality is still 10-20 %. The structure of the endocarditis vegetation impedes the penetration of phagocytic cells such as monocytes and granulocytes. LÄS MER
2. Cerebral complications in infective endocarditis
Sammanfattning : Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease. Cerebral embolization complicates the course in 10-40% of IE episodes. Aims of study were to investigate the frequency of cerebrovascular complications (CVC) in left-sided IE and the influence of protective and risk factors with focus on antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy.

3. Aspects of infective endocarditis. Molecules, microbiology, management, and more
Sammanfattning : AbstractEndocarditis, or heart valve infection, can be caused by a number of pathogens, many of which are Gram-positive bacteria. The diagnosis is based on imaging techniques such as echocardiography and on blood culture. LÄS MER
4. Blood Culture Negative Endocarditis
Sammanfattning : The lethal disease infective endocarditis (IE) is caused by microorganisms that attack heart valves. Early diagnosis and identification of the causative agents are important for the choice of treatment. Optimal treatment may be difficult to achieve if blood culture negative endocarditis (CNE) is present. LÄS MER
5. Impact of Surgical Techniques Used for Mitral Valve Repair on Hemodynamic Performance
Sammanfattning : AbstractBackground Mitral regurgitation (MR) has many etiologies; the most common is degenerative disease. If not corrected, severe MR may cause left and right ventricular heart failure. Mitral valve (MV) repair is the gold standard for treatment of MR. LÄS MER
