Abstract

Infective endocarditis is a systemic infection with an enigmatic clinical presentation, which can delay diagnosis and treatment, resulting in a wide range of consequences. Despite advancements in treatment choices and antibiotics, appropriate management of infective endocarditis remains a formidable challenge. Male gender, advanced age, the existence of a prosthetic heart valve, and recreational intravenous drug use remain the primary risk factors for community-acquired infective endocarditis. As the infection is systemically pervasive, resulting in a variety of cardiac and extracardiac consequences, a multidisciplinary and multispecialty approach is essential for accomplishing optimal treatment outcomes.
