Q

Hvilke kardielle manifestasjoner kan endokarditt føre til?

A

IE should always be considered as a cause of fever of unknown origin (FUO), especially in the presence of a new heart murmur.

Valvular stenosis due to IE occurs only rarely. May not be detectable on auscultation because of the low-pressure gradient across the valve. Diastolic murmurs that are loudest along the left sternal border typically suggest aortic regurgitation due to valvular disease, while murmurs that are loudest at the right sternal border suggest regurgitation due to aortic root dilation. More common in left-sided IE.

Q

Hvilke årsaker er det som gir de ekstrakardielle manifestasjonen ved IE?

A

Up to one-third of patients with left-sided IE present with symptoms of stroke.

Vascular immunologic phenomena (e.g., Osler nodes, glomerulonephritis) are typically late manifestations of subacute bacterial endocarditis; they are less common in acute bacterial endocarditis given its rapid evolution.

Q

Hva er tegn på perifere embolier og immunologiske fenomener ved IE?

A
Reports vary; previously it was thought that peripheral signs of embolic and immunologic phenomena were present in up to 50% of patients. Caused by septic microemboli from infected cardiac valves. Characterized histologically by microthrombi that form at the site of retinal capillary damage.

A
38
Q

Hvordan tilnærmerer man seg diagnostikken ved mistanke om IE?

A
At least three separate sets of blood cultures are recommended prior to initiating antibiotics. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the initial imaging modality of choice as it is less invasive. The need for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is assessed based on patient risk factors and TTE findings.
39
Q

Hva regnes som hovedkriterier i “Modified Duke criteria”?

A
The first and last sample should be obtained at least 1 hour apart.
40
Q

Hvilke kriterier regnes som bikriterier i “Modified Duke kriterier”?

A
It is not entirely clear which conditions are considered a clear predisposition and therefore a minor criterion. Common examples include prior episodes of IE and the presence of valvular defects. Arterial emboli, septic infarctions, intracranial or conjunctival hemorrhages, mycotic aneurysm, Janeway lesions. Glomerulonephritis, Osler nodes, Roth spots, positive rheumatoid factor.
41
Q

Hvilke patologiske funn bruker man i “Modified Duke criteria”?

A
From the examination of a vegetation (including emboli) or an intracardiac abscess.
42
Q

Ved bruk av Dukes kriterier, når regnes det som en:
- Definitiv IE
- Mulig IE
- Ikke IE

A
When antimicrobial therapy has been given for ≤ 4 days.
43
Q

Hvilke varianter har de modifiserte Dukes kriterier en lavere sensitivitet?

A

The Duke criteria have decreased sensitivity for some conditions, among them prosthetic valve endocarditis, right-sided endocarditis, and infection of a cardiac device.

Adequate assessment of patients with IE can be challenging and requires experience and an individualized approach.

44
Q

Hvilke rutineblodprøver bør tas ved mistanke om endokarditt?

A
Inflammatory markers may be within normal range. Up to 50% of patients with endocarditis may have hematuria secondary to renal infarct and/or glomerulonephritis.
45
Q

Hvordan skal man tolke blodkulturer ved IE?

A
Fungal cultures are not routinely recommended initially (Candida is the most common fungal pathogen and grows in standard cultures). The reported percentage of blood culture-negative endocarditis differs widely in the literature (2–40%). A single dose of antibiotics usually does not result in negative cultures. Even with effective treatment, it may take several days for bacteremia to resolve.
46
Q

Hvilken type ekkokardiografi er indisert hos alle pas. med IE?

A
In clinical practice, TEE is often routinely performed if IE is suspected. However, the 2015 AHA guidelines state that if clinical suspicion for IE is low (e.g., in otherwise healthy patients with fever of unknown origin) TTE alone may be sufficient.
47
Q

Når er det indikasjon for å utføre en transøsofagal ekkokardiografi (TØE = TEE)?

A
E.g., prosthetic heart valve, congenital heart disease, history of endocarditis, new murmur, heart failure, peripheral signs of endocarditis. Repeat after 3–5 days if TEE is negative but suspicion remains high.
48
Q

Hva regner man er funn på TTE/TEE som er en indikasjon på IE?

A
A thickened nonhomogeneous area around the valve with a hypoechoic or hyperechoic appearance. Visible as new valvular regurgitation with or without the presence of a vegetation/abscess and rocking motion of the prosthesis. Valvular tissue showing a saccular bulging. Reduced right or left ventricular function.

These findings are consistent with infective endocarditis associated with a perivalvular abscess of a prosthetic aortic valve.

53
Q

Hvorfor bør man ta serologi ved IE?

A
54
Q

Hvorfor bør man ta vevsprøver ved IE?

A
The type of infiltrating cells, degree of destruction, and presence of fibrin deposition will depend on the pathogen. Highly virulent organisms typically lead to extensive neutrophilic infiltration, areas of tissue destruction, and large colonies of microorganisms. Less virulent organisms are associated with findings of focal colonies, neutrophils, and evidence of healing (fibrin deposition and mononuclear inflammatory cells). Culture of the cardiac valve vegetation is part of the pathological criteria in the modified Duke criteria. Routine culture of valves that are removed for reasons other than endocarditis is not recommended. Can also be done using blood samples but using resected heart valve tissue is more common.
55
Q

Hvorfor tar man EKG ved IE?

A

Obtain an ECG in all patients with suspected IE to assess for new conduction abnormalities (e.g., AV block, bundle branch block) that suggest the development of a perivalvular or myocardial abscess. Consider urgent cardiac imaging (e.g., TEE, cardiac MRI) if these abnormalities are present.

ECG is usually repeated daily. Timing should be determined based on findings and clinical course of the patient.

Q

Hva viser bildet?

A
Septic pulmonary emboli; X-ray chest (supine) of a 24-year-old patient with history of intravenous drug use and septic emboli: Numerous pulmonary nodules are present in both lungs (examples indicated by green overlay). Some nodules have lucent centers indicating cavitation (examples indicated by red overlay). Air-space opacities, which were better appreciated on a subsequent CT scan (not shown), obscure the margins of some nodules. The cardiac silhouette appears prominent as a result of rotation of the patient to the left. The differential diagnosis of causes of multiple cavitary lung nodules includes bacterial, tuberculous, fungal, and parasitic infections as well as several noninfectious causes (e.g., rheumatic diseases and malignancies). Arrowheads: thoracic spine spinous processes; dashed lines: medial clavicles; yellow overlay: right central line.

A
74
Q

Hvordan er den initielle behandlingen av IE?

A
Early involvement of a formal multidisciplinary endocarditis team (e.g., infectious disease, cardiology, and thoracic surgery) has been shown to significantly improve outcomes. Some patients may require a higher level of care (e.g., observational unit for patients with new-onset AV block). Empiric antibiotic therapy is indicated in most patients, especially if there is evidence of clinical instability or complications. For clinically stable patients without evidence of complications, antibiotic therapy may be delayed (in consultation with infectious disease) until blood culture results are available.
75
Q

Hvilken type tilleggsbehandling kan man gi pas. med IE?

A
Recommendations are based on limited evidence. Expert consultation is advised. While this is a topic of ongoing debate, many experts hold anticoagulation for ≥ 2 weeks due to the risk of bleeding, even in patients with mechanical valves. Treating opioid use disorder may improve antibiotic adherence. To treat dental sources of bacteremia (e.g., periodontal disease) and prevent recurrent IE, especially in patients requiring valve surgery.

Kirurgiske inngrep

A
The presence of CIEDs, septal defect closure devices, coronary artery stents, or vena cava filters is not an indication for IE prophylaxis. This includes annuloplasty, rings, clips, and ventricular assist devices. Prophylaxis is recommended by the AHA/ACC guidelines but not by the European Society of Cardiology.
