Valve surgery, what age to screen for CAD?
40y.o. #
Dukes criteria
Definite I.E.: pathologic, 2major, 1major+3minor, 5 minor
Possible I.E.: 1major+1minor, 3 minor
Name the 4 major dukes criteria
- 2 Positive BC (strep viridans, strep bovis, HACEK, staph aureus, community-enterococcus)
- 1 positive BC coxiella burnetii or positive serology (anti-phase 1 IgG more than 1:800)
- Endocardial involvement
- Echo positive (oscillating intracardiac mass, abscess, new prosthetic valve dehiscence or new regurgitation)
#
HACEK ORGANISMS
Haemophilus sp. Aggregatibacter sp. Cardiobacterium hominis Eikenella corrodens Kingella sp.
Name 5 duke minor criteria
- Predisposition, heart condition, IDU
- fever more than 38deg
- Vascular phenomena (major art emboli, septic pulm infarcts, mycotoxins aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage, janeway lesions)
- Immunologic phenomenon (glomerulonephritis, Osler nodes, Roth spots, rheumatoid factor)
- Microbio: positive BC OR positive serology
#
Lambl’s excrescence
Filiform fronds at site of valve closure; mitral more than aortic, collagen composition, can be substrate for emboli
Echo features of high risk IE
- 10mm or bigger
- Severe valve insufficiency
- Abscess or pseudo aneurysm
- Valve perforation or dehiscence
- Decompensated HF
#
Great echo predictor of embolic complications from IE
10mm or bigger veg on ant MV
Echo features that suggest early surgery for IE
Vegetation :
A. Persistent after embolization
B. Ant mitral leaflet, esp greater than 10mm
c. One or more embolic events within first 2 weeks of abx
D. Increasing veg size on abx
Valve dysfunction:
A. Acute AI or MR w ventricular failure
B. HF not responsive to Med rx
Valve perforation or rupture: A. Peri valvular extension B. Dehiscence, rupture or fistula C. new HB C. Large abscess or extension on Abx
Duke Major criteria
- Blood Culture positive for IE (2, >12 hours apart)
- single blood culture for Coxiella burnetii or anti-phase 1 IgG Ab titre greater than 1:800
- endocardial involvment
- Echo positive (oscillating intracardiac mass on valve or supporting structures, in the path of regurgitant jets, or on implanted materials; abscess; new dehiscence of prosthetic valve or new regurgitation)
Duke Minor Criteria
- predisposition (heart condition or IDU)
- temp greater than 38degrees
- vascular phenomena, major art emboli, septic pulmonary infacts, mycotic aneurysm, intracranial hmorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage, janeway lesions
- immunological phenomena glomerulonephritis, osler nodes, roth spots, rheumatoid factor
- microbiological evidence (not meeting major criteria)
3D vs. 2D TEE
3D has lower temporal and lateral resolution
therefore, overestimates veg size and difficulty visualizing fast moving structures
define inoculum effect
which antibiotics most susceptible
which least susceptible
High bacterial density causes decreased antimicrobial activity of an antibiotic
- beta lactams and glycopeptides most susceptible to this problem (?due to loss of penicillin-binding protein during stationary-growth phase of bacteria)
- fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides least affcted
4 common PK/PD parameters that predict antibiotic efficacy
- max serum concentration/MIC
- AUC 24/MIC
- duration of time that serum concentration exceeds MIC
- duration of postantibiotic effect
MIC = minimum inhibitory concentration
