Population-based assessment of cardiovascular complications of rheumatic heart disease in Fiji: a record-linkage analysis
Conclusions Our study defines the burden of RHD-attributable morbidity in the general population of Fiji, potentially reflecting the situation in low-income and middle-income countries worldwide. Hospitalisation for an RHD complication is associated with markedly increased risk of death, re-emphasising the importance of effective early prevention.

Comparison of Characteristics and Short-Term Outcome From Fungal Infective Endocarditis in Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Versus Native Valve Endocarditis
In conclusion, fungal IE is associated with high mortality and recurrence rates. Surgery performed in selected cases may improve the outcomes, but the recurrence rate remains high.

Predictors of mortality in patients with prosthetic valve infective endocarditis: A nation-wide multicenter study.
CONCLUSIONS: High creatinine level, poor functional status and high CRP measured on admission were independent risk associates for in-hospital mortality, whereas a NYHA class ofIII/IV and high CRP reflected independent risk for stroke/mortality end point. PMID: 23788308 [PubMed - in process]

Clinical outcomes of aortic root replacement after previous aortic root replacement
Conclusions: Aortic root replacement after a previous aortic root replacement is associated with a relatively low operative mortality and perioperative morbidity, but long-term survival is suboptimal. Increasing age and prosthetic valve endocarditis adversely affect survival.

Determinants of Cerebral Lesions in Endocarditis on Systematic Cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Prospective Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Systematic cerebral MRI frequently detects ischemic lesions and microbleeds during acute IE. The high sensitivity of MRI shows that each millimeter increase in vegetation length is associated with a 10% increase in the rate of ischemic lesions. Conversely, microbleeds are associated only with prosthetic IE in this study. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00144885.

Minimally invasive tricuspid valve surgery in patients at high risk
Conclusions: The heart-port–based minimally invasive approach seems to be safe, feasible, and reproducible in case of tricuspid valve operations. It ensures low perioperative morbidity, moderate to low rates of tricuspid regurgitation recurrence, and low late mortality. It also seems to have an added value in case of reoperative procedures.

A16: Long‐term follow‐up of 36 Pediatric Antiphospholipid Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study
Conclusion:Despite of prophylaxis with anticoagulants, new thrombotic events occurred in 25% of the patients and reaching the ideal prothrombin time to prevent thrombotic episodes was the major challenge, as nearly half of the patients had hemorrhagic events. Studies are necessary to identify ideal parameters for treating and monitoring children with antiphospholipid syndrome.

Multiple Ischemic Strokes Caused by Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Because of Gallbladder Cancer: A Case Report
We report a case of a 62-year-old woman with multiple ischemic strokes caused by nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) because of gallbladder cancer. Transesophageal echocardiography showed NBTE on the mitral valve. The NBTE disappeared with anticoagulation treatment for 2 weeks. Abdominal computed tomography showed a gallbladder tumor that was surgically resected. Histopathologic studies showed poorly differentiated tumor cells and the production of mucin. Trousseau syndrome with gallbladder cancer is very rare. We suggest that the development of NBTE is related to the production of mucin.

Dental implants in patients at high risk for infective endocarditis: a preliminary study
Abstract: The safety of dental implant placement in patients at high risk for infective endocarditis (IE) has never been shown. The outcome of osseointegrated implants in patients with artificial heart valves or with a history of an infected valve is not known. In this article we describe our experience of dental implant placement in patients at high risk for IE. A retrospective study was conducted on patients at high risk for IE who underwent dental implant placement. All the patients received prophylactic antibiotic treatment before the surgical procedure, in accordance with the relevant American Heart Association guidel...

Association between indices of clinically‐defined periodontitis and self‐reported history of systemic medical conditions
ConclusionsThe findings confirm the results from previous investigations in which a number of systemic medical conditions were significantly associated with probing pocket depth and/or CAL.

302 * full sternotomy versus right anterior mini-thoracotomy for isolated aortic valve replacement in octogenarians: a propensity matched study
Conclusion: Minimally invasive AVR through RAMT can be safely performed in patients aged ≥80 years with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. It is an expeditious and effective alternative to full sternotomy AVR and might be associated with lower stroke incidence.

Have antibiotic changes upped heart infections?
Conclusion This is valuable and timely research, which has looked at trends before and after NICE's 2008 guidance on the prevention of infective endocarditis in people undergoing invasive procedures. This examined: changes in the prescription of antibiotics for the prevention of infective endocarditis changes in the number of cases of infective endocarditis diagnosed NICE's recommendation was based on an examination of the evidence of the effectiveness of antibiotics in preventing infective endocarditis, weighing the benefits and health outcomes (such as reduction in illness and deaths), risks and costs.   The ...

The New Strategy in Infective Endocarditis: Early Surgery Based on Early Diagnosis: Are We Too Late, When Early Surgery is Best?
Abstract Patients with infective endocarditis (IE) have a poor prognosis due to complications including congestive heart failure, paravalvular abscess formation, central and peripheral embolism, and hemorrhagic stroke.(1) Patients with IE and congestive heart failure (CHF) have a mortality as high as 50%.(1) The poor prognosis seems not be improved during recent years.(2) In Sweden 7.603 patients with IE received a close follow-up with assessment of the 30-day mortality and 5-year follow-up including autopsy in all fatal events sampled from 1997 to 2007.(2) During the observation period no change of mortality was ...

Central nervous system involvement in adult patients with invasive infection caused by Streptococcus agalactiae
Conclusions CNS involvement is not uncommon in adult patients with invasive infection caused by S. agalactiae. Isolating S. agalactiae, especially in cases of meningitis, should lead doctors to search for predisposing systemic disease and causes of mucocutaneous barrier disruption.
