Infective Endocarditis
• A microbial infection of the endothelial surface of the heart or valves
• Usually is near congenital or acquired cardiac defects
• Designated by the causative organism• Also classified as NVE or PVE
![Page 3: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Etiology
• Usually Bacterial– Staphylococcus aureus Endocarditis– Streptococcus viridans Endocarditis– Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
Endocarditis• Sometimes Fungal
– Candida albicans Endocarditis
![Page 4: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Etiology
• Streptococci most common cause (35-60%)– Mostly viridans group
• Staphylococci about 30-40 and gaining– S. aureus most common cause in IVDU’s– Incidence increasing in hospital-acquired
infections
![Page 5: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Epidemiology
• Incidence <1% Of General Population
![Page 6: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Epidemiology
• Population Groups At Greater Risk:– Rheumatic Fever History– Hemodialysis– Previous History Of Endocarditis– Patients With Prosthetic Valves– IV Drug Users (30% Risk Within 2 Years)
![Page 7: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Predisposing Conditions
• Mitral valve prolapse• Aortic valve disease• Congenital heart disease• Prosthetic valve• Intravenous drug use• No identifiable cause in 25-47%
![Page 8: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Epidemiology• More Common In Men• Median Age 50 Years• Acute Cases Increasing• Streptococcal Cases
Slightly; Fungal And Gram Negative Cases Increasing
![Page 9: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Epidemiology
• Incidence Increases With Age, Probably Due To Increased Cardiac Disease And Decreased Immunity
• Prosthetic Heart Valve Infections Are Increasing
![Page 10: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dentistry And Endocarditis
• Streptococcus viridans: Usual Etiologic Agent
• Usually Is Not Acute (Subacute)– (That Is Why It Is Referred To As “SBE”)
• Incubation Period Approximately Two Weeks
![Page 11: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Epidemiology• Mitral Valve Prolapse:
Only 1/4 Of MVP Patients Have Mitral Insufficiency (Regurgitation Or Murmur) - This Results In The Very Slight Increased Risk For Endocarditis
![Page 12: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MVP
• Mitral valve prolapse accounts for 25-30% of adult cases of native valve endocarditis
• MVP is now the most common underlying condition among patients who develop infective endocarditis
![Page 13: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Aortic Valve Disease
Accounts for 12-30% of IE cases
![Page 14: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Epidemiology• Fenfluramine (Pondimin) And
Dexfenfluramine (Redux) Were Reported To Cause Cardiac Valvular Damage When Used For 4 Or More Months
• Premedication No Longer Indicated
![Page 15: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Epidemiology
• Vena Cava Filters Or Umbrella Stents Placed To Catch Blood Clots Have Not Demonstrated Increased Risks
![Page 16: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3 Types Of Endocarditis Lesions
• Cardiac Lesions• Embolic Lesions: Friable Cardiac
Lesions That Break Away• General Lesions
![Page 17: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cardiac Lesions
• Usually Valvular• Most Often Mitral Valve• May Cover The Entire Valve• Mass Of Platelets, Fibrin And
Bacteria• Sterile Vegetations May Occur In
50% Of Lupus Patients

Embolic Lesions
• Osler’s Nodes: Are Small, Painful Petechiae In Extremities
![Page 20: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Janeway Lesions
• Pathognomonic of IE• Non-tender dermal abscesses

Mortality
• Overall Rate About 40%• Death Usually Due To Heart
Failure Resulting From Valve Dysfunction
• Highest Death Rate Is In Early Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis
![Page 24: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Classic Triad - But May Not Always Be Present
1. Fever2. Positive Blood Culture3. Heart Murmur
• Sometimes Insidious Onset• “Flu-Like” Symptoms
![Page 25: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lab Findings
• +Culture In 95% Of BE• Strep viridans Most Commonly Causes SBE• Staph aureus Most Commonly Causes ABE• Electrocardiography: Will Determine If
Infection Progresses To Myocardium
![Page 26: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lab Findings
• Echocardiography - As Important As A Positive Blood Culture Are Results Which Show Vegetations, Abscesses, Etc.
![Page 27: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Major Diagnostic Criteria
• Positive Blood Culture• Echocardiogram Findings
Of Endocardial Involvement• New Valvular Regurgitation
![Page 28: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Minor Diagnostic Criteria
• Predisposing Heart Conditions• IV Drug Use• Vascular Emboli• Osler Nodes• Aneurysm• Roth Spots Of The Eye• Splinter Hemorrhages
![Page 29: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Treatment
• Treat It Early!• Culture• Use Bactericidal Agents
–PCN G; Cefatriaxone; PCN G + Gentamicin; Nafcillin; Vancomycin
![Page 30: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Treatment
• Use Adequate Dosage• Parenteral Route• Sufficient Duration: 4-6 Weeks Or
Longer
![Page 31: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dental Management
• Prevention In Susceptible Patients: An Academic Issue
• Very Few Cases Related In Time To Dental/Medical Procedures– Incidence Has Been Estimated To Be 100-200
Patients Susceptible To BE In A Dental Practice With 2,000 Patients
![Page 32: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Antibiotic Prophylaxis
• Regimen Designed For Alpha-hemolytic Strep (S. viridans)
• No Clinical Trials Available To Show This Works! (Actually Prevents BE In Humans)
• 25-50% Hospital Antibiotic Usage Is For Prophylaxis
![Page 33: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Antibiotic Prophylaxis
• Complications: Resistant Bacteria, Toxicity, Allergies, Suprainfections, Costs
• Will Not Prevent All Cases
![Page 34: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Antibiotic Prophylaxis
• Allergy Morbidity Is Higher Than Endocarditis (Allergy To Premed)– 400-800 PCN Deaths Per Year
• Effective For Patients With Prosthetic Valves And Previous Endocarditis History
![Page 35: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
American Heart Association Guidelines
• Not Intended To Be A Standard Of Care• Not A Substitute For Clinical Judgment• Must Be Considered If You Receive A Medical
Opinion That Conflicts With The Guidelines (You Are Responsible For The Outcome Of Your Patient’s Dental Treatment)
![Page 36: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
American Heart Association Guidelines
• First Recommendations Were In 1955
• Can Still Develop Endocarditis Even When Using Guidelines
![Page 37: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Prophylaxis Myths
• Most Cases Of BE Of Oral Origin Are Caused By Dental Procedures
• AHA Regimens Give Almost Total Protection Against Endocarditis After Dental Procedures
![Page 38: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Prophylaxis Myths
• If A Patient Is Taking Antibiotics For An Infection Before The Dental Procedure, You Do Not Need To Change The Patient To Another Antibiotic Before The Dental Procedure
![Page 39: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Prophylaxis Myths
• The Risk Of Endocarditis Is Greater Than The Risk Of Toxic Effects Of The Antibiotic
![Page 40: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
2007 AHA RecommendationsProphylaxis Indicated For The Following Groups
Of Patients:• Those with a previous history of endocarditis• Those with prosthetic cardiac valves• Post-heart transplant patients with
valvulopathy• Those with certain congenital types of heart
disease
![Page 41: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Congenital Heart DiseaseIndications for Prophylaxis
• Unrepaired cyanotic CHD, including those patients with palliative shunts & conduits
• Completely repaired CHD with prosthetic material or device placed by surgery or catheter during the first 6 months after the procedure
• Repaired CHD with residual defects at the site or adjacent to the site of a prosthetic patch or prosthetic device, which inhibits endothelialization
![Page 42: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Dental Procedures For Which Prophylaxis Is Recommended
• All procedures involving manipulation of gingival tissue or the periapical region of teeth or perforation of oral mucosa
• Excluded procedures:– Routine anesthetic injections through noninfected tissue– Radiographs– Placement of removable prosthodontic or orthodontic
appliances– Adjustment of orthodontic appliances– Shedding of primary teeth and bleeding from trauma to
lips or oral mucosa
![Page 43: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Nonvalvular Cardiovascular Devices
• Such as coronary artery stents, hemodialysis grafts• Routine antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures
is not recommended• However, prophylaxis is recommended if an abscess
is going to be incised & drained,• Or, if there is leakage present after the device is
placed
![Page 44: Infective Endocarditis](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681588c550346895dc5eb6e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Not In This Presentation!
• Know Antibiotics in AHA Regimen• Know Dosages of These Antibiotics• Know The Regimen• Remember To Wait 9-14 Days Between
Premed Appointments To Avoid Antibiotic Resistance Development
• If Patient Is On A “Regimen” Antibiotic Switch To Another Drug In The Regimen
