It involves the cardiovascular system, specifically targeting the endocardial lining of native or prosthetic heart valves following transient or persistent bacteremia typically originating from gastrointestinal, pelvic, or genitourinary mucosal disruptions

It involves the cardiovascular system, specifically targeting the endocardial lining of native or prosthetic heart valves following transient or persistent bacteremia typically originating from gastrointestinal, pelvic, or genitourinary mucosal disruptions Clinically and pathophysiologically, it is characterized by destructive valvular vegetations, fever, and a high frequency of thromboembolic events, perivalvular abscesses, and acute heart failure, carrying a substantial risk of morbidity and m...
