This paper presents a literature review on right heart endocarditis in patients with a permanent pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). We postulate putting a great deal more emphasis on separation of lead-dependent infective endocarditis from other types of infective endocarditis. We stress the need for screening patients with PM/ICD and pulmonary signs using transesophageal echocardiography. Antibiotic therapy and PM/ICD removal is the treatment of choice in such patients.
这篇论文对永久性起搏器（PM）或植入式心脏复律除颤器（ICD）患者的右心心内膜炎进行了文献回顾。我们假设更加重视将与导线相关的感染性心内膜炎与其他类型的感染性心内膜炎区分开来。我们强调需要使用经食管超声心动图对 PM/ICD 患者和肺部体征进行筛查。在这些患者中，抗生素治疗和 PM/ICD 移除是首选治疗方法。
