Clinical outcomes in patients with native valve infective endocarditis and diabetes mellitus
CONCLUSION: There is an increasing prevalence of DM in NVIE and it is associated with poorer outcomes. Further studies are crucial to identify the clinical, and sociodemographic contributors to this trend and develop strategies to mitigate its attendant risk.PMID:33552399 | PMC:PMC7821010 | DOI:10.4330/wjc.v13.i1.11

Heartfelt sepsis: microvascular injury due to genomic storm.
Abstract Sepsis is one of the ten leading causes of death in developed and developing countries. In the United States, sepsis mortality approaches that of acute myocardial infarction and exceeds deaths from stroke. Neonates and the elderly are the most vulnerable patients, with these groups suffering from the highest sepsis mortality. In both groups, many survivors respectively display serious developmental disabilities and cognitive decline. The National Institute of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Panel redefined sepsis as a "severe endothelial dysfunction syndrome in response to intravascular and...

Clinical - microbiological characterization and risk factors of mortality in infective endocarditis from a tertiary care academic hospital in Southern India.
CONCLUSIONS: This study reiterates the persistent dominance of rheumatic heart disease in the population studied and α - hemolytic Streptococci as the commonest responsible microorganism. PMID: 29716704 [PubMed - in process]

Prosthetic valve endocarditis in patients on hemodialysis
We read with great interest the manuscript entitled “Prognostic factors of infective endocarditis in patients on hemodialysis: A case series from a National Multicenter Registry” by Dr. A. Ramos-Martínez and colleagues showing that hemodialysis patients with IE present a high mortality and that advanced age and complications, such as heart failu re, CNS stroke or septic shock, are associated with mortality [1].

Pre-operative stroke and neurological disability do not independently affect short- and long-term mortality in infective endocarditis patients
Conclusions Pre-operative stroke and the severity of neurological disability do not independently affect short- and long-term mortality in patients with infective endocarditis. It appears that patients with pre-operative stroke present with a generally higher risk profile. This information may substantially affect decision-making.

In-hospital mortality risk factors for patients with cerebral vascular events in infectious endocarditis. A correlative study of clinical, echocardiographic, microbiologic and neuroimaging findings.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with IE complicated with stroke, the number of lesions observed in neuroimaging examinations and conservative treatment were associated with higher in-hospital mortality. PMID: 26031364 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke is not a treatment dilemma for early valve surgery in active infective endocarditis.
CONCLUSION: Surgery for AIE with cerebral septic embolisms can be performed safely, with good early and mid-term follow-up results. When urgent or emergent surgery for AIE is needed, neurologic complications should not be a reason for delay. PMID: 25799711 [PubMed - in process]
