2-Infective Endocarditis

Image 2 of 44

Infective endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart, frequently involving the heart valves. Dental health professionals must have a thorough understanding of this serious, albeit rare, infection of the heart because some dental and dental hygiene procedures in at-risk patients may increase the risk of this potentially life-threatening infection. Sequela of an infective endocarditis infection may lead to heart failure, stroke, heart valve damage requiring valve replacement or death. View or download a PDF version of this poster.
