Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - Endocarditis patients often have nonspecific signs and symptoms, but endocarditis has the potential for multiorgan involvement. The clinical course of endocarditis can be indolent or fulminant. The majority of endocarditis is infective; diagnosis relies on a set of explicit criteria (see later Tables 156-3 and 156-4 in “Diagnosis” section). Unrecognized endocarditis has frequent complications and high mortality.
