Overview

Endocarditis may be classified based on the underlying pathophysiology of the process (infective vs. non-infective), the onset of the disease (acute vs. subacute or short incubation vs. long incubation), results of the cultures (culture positive vs. culture negative), the nature of the valve (native vs. prosthetic) and the valve affected (aortic, mitral, or tricuspid valve).

Classification

Endocarditis may be classified into 8 subtypes based on:

Classification criterion Subgroups
Underlying pathophysiology
  • Infective Endocarditis vs. Non-Infective Endocarditis
Onset of the disease
  • Short Incubation vs. Long Incubation
Culture result
  • Culture Positive vs. Culture Negative
Nature of the valve
  • Native Valve Endocarditis vs. Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis
