Early Echocardiographic Manifestations of Primary Chronic Septic Endocarditis

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Echocardiographic manifestations of the early stages of primary chronic septic endocarditis are studied in patients with mono-, bi-, and multivalvular valvulitis. The basic morphological substrate of the disease is fi brosis; the main trend is progressive fi brosis of valvular and extravalvular endocardial structures leading in many cases to stenosis of the valvular orifi ces. The results in some cases do not permit us to regard fi brosis as a result of previous “healed” endocarditis ruling out the presence of an infl ammatory process. The basic morphological substrate of the disease corresponds to primary chronic infl ammation, intrinsic to this condition. The data on the early manifestations of infectious endocarditis supplement the notions on echocardiographic manifestations this condition.
