ABSTRACT

Infective Endocarditis is a heart condition mainly from bacterial origin. Presents intracardiac vegetations which have the risk of producing systemic embolization. There has been established the modified Duke criteria to determine the probability of the disease, these criteria includes both laboratory data and clinical aspects of the patient. Transesophageal ultrasound is a study with a reliable positive predictive value (around 90%), in the assessment of vegetations, but the transthoracic ultrasound is acceptable as an initial assessment in diagnosis. Antimicrobial therapy is complex and the duration of ii is extended. This review made a concise approach on bacterial endocarditis, concentrating mainly on the subtype of native valves.
