Overview
The incidence of native valve infective endocarditis is approximately 1.7-6.2 cases per 100,000 individuals per year in the United States and Europe. The prevalence of infective endocarditis among IV drug users ranges from 10 to 15%.The incidence of endocarditis increases with age; the median age of patients is 47 to 69 years. There is an increased incidence of infective endocarditis in persons 65 years of age and older. Males are more commonly affected with endocarditis than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.7:1.
