How To Assess a Patient with Endocarditis
The patients with possible infective endocarditis, the medical history and physical examination are of paramount importance, for it is the clinical presentation that usually provides the initial clues to the diagnosis. The majority of cases of infective endocarditis still occur in the setting of underlying rheumatic or congenital heart disease. In this webinar Dr Nikhilesh Jain Chief Intensivist and Director Department of Critical Care Services will help you understand how to assess patients with Endocarditis.

Myocarditis: case report
Myocarditis is a condition that occurs when there is inflammation in the heart muscle. The causes of myocarditis can vary widely and include viral infections, bacterial infections, fungal infections, drug reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Symptoms of myocarditis can include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, and fever. Treatment of myocarditis depends on the underlying cause, but may involve rest, medications to reduce inflammation or control the immune system, and supportive care such as fluids and oxygen. In severe cases of myocarditis, complications can occur such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and even sudden cardiac death. Prevention of myocarditis involves avoiding exposure to infectious agents and seeking prompt medical attention if symptoms develop.

Infective Endocarditis: Diagnosis and Management
Infective endocarditis (IE) carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Rapid diagnosis, effective treatment, and prompt recognition of complications are essential to good patient outcomes. Therapy of IE caused by the more commonly encountered organisms, including streptococci, enterococci, staphylococci, and the HACEK organisms (Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Haemophilus aphrophilus, Actinobacillus [Haemophilus] actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella species, and Kingella species). Echocardiography plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of IE.

Echocardiography in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Non-invasive imaging, particularly echocardiography, plays a central role in the evaluation for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Echocardiography helps to rule in HFpEF among patients with unexplained dyspnea when the diagnosis is uncertain. In established HFpEF, echocardiography provides important insights into pathophysiology and phenotyping, such as isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, left atrial dysfunction, abnormal right ventricular- pulmonary artery coupling, ischemia, or obesity phenotypes
