Overview
Risk factors for endocarditis include prosthetic heart valves, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, intravenous drug use, Age-related degenerative valvular lesions, immunosuppression, and colon cancer.[1]
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of endocarditis are:[1]
- Prosthetic heart valves
- Vavlvular heart disease
- Intravenous drug abuse
- Intracardiac devices, such as implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
- Age-related degenerative valvular lesions
- Hemodialysis
- Congenital heart disease
- History of rheumatic heart disease
- Diabetes mellitus
- HIV/AIDS
- Immunosuppression
- Colon cancer
