It covers the ever-increasing scope of the problem, including epidemiology, as well as diagnostic work-up, microbiology, medical therapy, and surgical therapy for this disease. The book also addresses the opioid epidemic and rising infective endocarditis incidence in this population. Each type of practitioner can use this book as a definitive resource in reviewing aspects of care related to the endocarditis patient.
This book will also serve as an updated resource to provide recent evidence regarding the management of these patients, as well as author perspectives and approaches to tackling the often complex and challenging issues revolving around care of the endocarditis patient. This is an essential reference and an authoritative source for infective endocarditis and provide physicians, nurses, social workers, and everyone who is routinely involved in the care of these patients.
- Provides a thorough, yet concise review from a multidisciplinary perspective on the work-up and management of infective endocarditis
- Presents updated reviews on evidence and current guidelines for treating patients with infective endocarditis
- Provides discussion on controversial aspects of management, both medical and ethical
Clinicians that routinely take care of patients with endocarditis, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, primary care physicians, intensive care unit physicians, and psychiatrists. Ancillary staff including nurses as well as hospital administrators may have an interest in this authoritative textbook as well
