Isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis is an uncommon clinical entity and is usually associated with intravenous drug abuse. We describe a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis in a young woman with no apparent precipitating factors other than a history of recent normal delivery. During the clinical course she suffered a pulmonary embolism which could be managed conservatively and she was discharged after a 4-week course of antibiotic therapy. The literature on the isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis is reviewed.

Low BMI and normal WC were associated with a worse short-term outcome in patients with acute MI. Neither BMI nor WC independently predicted cardiac events or death after acute MI.
