“…21 Echocardiographic definitions of vegetation, abscess, pseudoaneurysm, and fistula have been described in previous works. 22 Vegetations were measured in various planes at the point in the cardiac cycle in which the vegetation appeared the largest. The greatest diameter and the greatest area by planimetry were recorded.…”

Background-The influence of age on the main epidemiological, clinical, echocardiographic, microbiological, and prognostic features of patients with infective endocarditis remains unknown. We present the series with the largest numbers and range of ages of subjects to date that analyzes the influence of age on the main characteristics of patients with isolated left-sided infective endocarditis. Furthermore, this series is the first one in which patients have been distributed according to age quartile. Methods and Results-A total of 600 episodes of left-sided endocarditis consecutively diagnosed in 3 tertiary centers were stratified into age-specific quartiles and 107 variables compared between the different groups. With increasing age, the percentage of women, previous heart disease, predisposing disease (diabetes mellitus and cancer), and infection by enterococci and Streptococcus bovis also increased. Valvular insufficiency and perforation and Staphylococcus aureus infection were more common in younger patients. The therapeutic approach differed depending on patient age because of the growing proportion of older patients who only received medical treatment. Clinical course and hospital prognosis were worse in the older patients because of increased surgical mortality among them. Conclusions-Increasing age is associated with less valvular impairment (insufficiency and perforation), a more favorable microbiological profile, and increased surgical mortality among adults with left-sided infective endocarditis.

“…Ropień okołozastawkowy częściej występuje w IZW zastawki aortalnej (w 10-40% przypadków NVE) [3,[225][226][227] i często w przypadku PVE (56-100%) [3,6]. W przypadku zajęcia zastawki mitralnej ropnie okołozastawkowe zazwyczaj są zlokalizowane do tyłu lub bocznie od pierścienia zastawki [228].…”

“…Szczególnie użyteczne w ocenie powikłań okołozastawkowych są TEE, MSCT i PET/CT [103], podczas gdy czułość TTE wynosi < 50% (patrz rozdział 5.) [225][226][227][228]. Okołozastawkowe szerzenie się zakażenia jest często stwierdzane w systematycznie wykonywanejTEE.…”

“…In a study by Graupner et al [30] found 78 of 211, or 37% of patients with left-sided endocarditis by the two criteria to have signs of peri-annular extension. The highest incidence was found in prosthetic valves (55%) versus native valves (29%), and the risk factors for having peri-annular extension were prosthetic valve, previous endocarditis, and coagulase negative Staph.…”
