Abstract

Prosthetic valve infective endocarditis represents a defined pathological entity which follows an epidemiological and nosological pattern in accordance to an arbitrary classification. Chronologically it is divided into the entities of early and late prosthetic valve endocarditis, each with its own unique characteristics. The clinical features, complications and diagnosis do not vary much from native valve endocarditis. There are clear and precise indications to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of this entity which differ from native valve endocarditis.

摘要

人工瓣膜感染性心内膜炎是一种明确的病理实体，根据一种任意分类法，它遵循流行病学和疾病分类模式。按时间顺序，它分为早期和晚期人工瓣膜心内膜炎实体，各有其独特特征。其临床特征、并发症和诊断与天然瓣膜心内膜炎相比变化不大。有明确而精确的指征有助于诊断和治疗这种与天然瓣膜心内膜炎不同的实体。
