“…В развиващите се страни обаче ревматичното сърдечно заболяване остава най-честият предразполагащ рисков фактор за ИЕ [24]. Например метаанализ за Африка, публикуван 2022 г., съобщава за 52% случаи на РСП, Индия -20%, Саудитска Арабия -15%, Латинска Америка -13% [20,[26][27][28]. За сравнение в International Collaboration on Endocarditis -Prospective Cohort Study (ICE-PCS) [2] случаите с РСП са 3%, а по данни на нашия център -2,6%.…”

“…However, in developing countries, rheumatic heart disease remains the most common predisposing risk factor for IE. For example, a meta-analysis for Africa published in 2022 reported 52% cases of RHD, India -19%, Saudi Arabia -15%, Latin America -13% [20,[26][27][28]. In comparison, in the International Collaboration on Endocarditis-Prospective Cohort Study (ICE-PCS) [2] cases of RHD were 3%.…”

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a disease of the endocardium of the heart and the endocardium of the great vessels, with infection affecting heart valves (native or prosthetic) and subvalvular structures and, in the last few decades, indwelling intracardiac devices or catheters. It is a life-threatening disease with a wide distribution worldwide. IE was first described 350 years ago, but it continues to be a huge challenge for doctors for several reasons. First – IE is a changing disease. Nowadays, the profile of patients with IE has significantly changed in terms of age, predisposing factors, microbiological causative agent, clinical picture, complications, therapeutic approach. Second, despite modern imaging and microbiological methods, diagnostics often encounter serious difficulties and delays. Third, the improvement in medical and surgical treatment in recent decades has not changed the rates of mortality and severe complications. Knowing the current profile of patients with IE helps in timely and accurate diagnosis, which is key to starting adequate treatment. Early identification of high-risk patients is important for the therapeutic approach, especially when deciding on operative treatment. This is associated with a reduction in in-hospital mortality and an improvement in the long-term prognosis of patients.

“…2 Seria importante enfatizar sua importância epidemiológica com base em sua inclusão em metanálises. Por exemplo, Urina-Jassir et al 3 em excelente estudo, apresentam o perfil da endocardite na América Latina. Além disso, de 1955 a 2022, foram publicados 185 trabalhos indexados na MEDLINE (PUBMED) (Figura 1).…”

Fundamento: A endocardite infecciosa (EI) refere-se à infecção da superfície endocárdica do coração e geralmente ocorre em valvas nativas ou protéticas. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo levantar dados de EI refletindo a terapêutica cirúrgica, em um Hospital Universitário do interior do estado de São Paulo -Brasil. Método: Abordagem retrospectiva e observacional de 328 pacientes com EI operados entre 1982 e 2020 Resultados: Os principais dados (n=121/37%), insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (n=114/35%), valvopatia (n=92/28%), diabetes mellitus (n=85/26%), doença renal crônica (n=59/18%) e febre reumática (49/15%). A insuficiência renal é um dos principais e mais relevantes fatores de risco pré-cirúrgicos para um mau prognóstico. Conclusão: Para um melhor resultado clínico e cirúrgico é necessário o diagnóstico sindrômico e etiológico precoce da EI, principalmente em pacientes com múltiplas comorbidades.

“…Therefore, our approach was to conduct a systematic review including the two major international databases, as well as two regional Latin American databases. We identified and described compiled information on the major characteristics of IE that hopefully will be useful, or at least be a starting point for clinicians, researchers, and local guidelines [ 9 ] . Efforts to develop a unified knowledge, via systematic reviews, have also been conducted by other authors in the field of CVDs in LATAM [ 10 , 11 ] .…”

“…Similarly, Carrillo-Larco et al [ 11 ] produced essential information on the prevalence of dyslipidemia as well as the trends among the lipid profile levels in Latin American population-based studies. Besides the mentioned value of these systematic reviews, this type of study is also key to identify what is missing in the literature, such as more robust multicenter studies, registries, and/or population studies [ 9 , 10 ] .…”
