What is endocarditis of the heart and its types
Modern features
The prevalence of infective endocarditis in recent years has increased 8 times. Statistics reveal that men suffer three times more often than women. The age of maximum destruction — about 50 years, but ¼ of all cases accounted for 60 and older.
A special form of secondary endocarditis received a distribution in connection with the development of cardiac surgery and operations on the heart with the use of implants made of artificial materials. These complications are divided according to the rate of development after surgery in the early (two months) and late (longer).
Cardiology clinic noted a significant dependence of the rate of primary infectious endocarditis from drug addiction. The risk of septic endocarditis in persons using non-sterile syringes 30 times higher than in healthy people.
The development and manifestations of septic endocarditis
Bacterial endocarditis occurs as a result of infection from a chronic focus, festering wounds, and after generic septic endometritis complicated by abortion. The valves are formed polyphonie sprawl, then ulcerative endocarditis. Often there are complications such as embolism of peripheral blood vessels and brain.
The frequency of recovery in subacute is from 35 to 85%, depending on the type of infection. It is important early initiation of therapy. Wrong selection of antibiotics, delayed treatment leads to the development of resistant forms of pathogens, complications. Worsens the prognosis of endocarditis of artificial valves, and if the cause is fungal.
40% of patients become disabled in connection with severe heart failure, effects of a stroke. Late complications include a repeat of the infection (relapse) or meeting with a new infection.
Preventive measures
Prevention of endocarditis is more about not General health measures (how to avoid a healthy person), but purely medical schemes.
The goal is to prevent cardiac complications in infectious diseases, tonsillitis, surgical surgery.
The use of antibiotics, the choice of dosage will depend on the extent of risk transferred, procedures or surgeries, the outcome of infectious diseases. There are no standards. The attending physician observes the patient, controls the analyses and assigns a personalised drugs for each patient.
It is very important to be examined after a sore throat, especially for a child. Here, you cannot rely on health. The best time to do everything of their capabilities.
