APR-2015-CSBRP
• What is THE requisite for inflammation?
• Name some structures devoid of vasculature?
• What are the vessel wall changes that incite
thrombosis?
APR-2015-CSBRP
Infective Endocarditis (IE)
• IE is most common of common endocardial
diseases
• Should be kept in mind in the DDs in a case of
PUO
APR-2015-CSBRP
Infective Endocarditis (IE)
Def: Infection of cardiac valves, endocardium or
arteriovenous shunts (Boyd)
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a microbial infection of the
heart valves or the mural endocardium that leads to
the formation of vegetations composed of thrombotic
debris and organisms, often associated with
destruction of the underlying cardiac tissues (Robbins)
APR-2015-CSBRP
Infective Endocarditis (IE)
Types:
1.Acute – Stormy onset
2.Subacute – Insidious onset
APR-2015-CSBRP
Infective Endocarditis (IE)
Organisms:
1. Acute – Staphylococcus aureus
2. Subacute – Streptococcus viridans
APR-2015-CSBRP
Infective Endocarditis (IE)
Feature Acute bacterial IE SABE
Valve status Normal valve Abnormal valve
Organism Highly virulent organism:
Staph. aureus
Lower virulence
Strep. viridans

cured with antibiotics
APR-2015-CSBRP
Infective Endocarditis (IE)
Organisms:
1. IV drug abuse: Staphylococcus aureus (50%)
2. In patients with cardiac prosthesis:
– Early infections:
• 50% Staph. Epidermidis
• 20% Gram negative bacilli
• 10% Fungi
– Late infections:
• Staphylococcus and Streptococcus together 60%
• HACEK 20%
3. Most common fungal endocarditis:
– Candida
– Aspergillus
APR-2015-CSBRP
ETIOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS
Two Factors interact in the causation of IE:
1. Small Thrombotic masses
2. Bacteraemia
APR-2015-CSBRP
ETIOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS
SMALL THROMBOTIC MASSES:
• Results from Haemodynamic Injury to
endocardial surface by high pressure jets
striking the Endocardium / turbulent flow
• Examples:
– Mitral Valve Prolapse
– Congenital Bicuspid Aortic valve
– Chronic RHD (AR)
– Prosthetic valves
– CHD: VSD, TOF, PDA
APR-2015-CSBRP
ETIOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS
BACTERAEMIA: Organisms - Mode of entry:
1. Organisms are carried to the heart in the
blood – bacteremia
– Tooth extraction, dental procedures
– Instrumentation of urinary tract, GIT
2. Direct inoculation during cardiac surgery
3. Ascend in an indwelling intravascular
catheter
APR-2015-CSBRP
ETIOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS
HOST FACTORS IN INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
– Neutropenia
– Immunodeficiency
– Malignancy
– Immunosuppression
– Diabetes mellitus
– Alcohol
– IV Drug abuse
APR-2015-CSBRP
IE Lesions - VEGETATIONS
• Large friable masses on the valves
– Along the lines of closure
– At the margin of septal defect
– Arteriovenous fistulas
• Encroach on to:
– the adjacent endocardium
– chordae tendinae
– into sinus of Valsalva
• Perforation of cusps
• Rupture of chordae tendinae (result in sudden incompetence)
• Abscess may form and surround the valve ring (ring abscess)
• Perforation of interventricular septum
APR-2015-CSBRP
The aortic valve shows three thin and delicate cusps. The coronary artery
orifices can be seen just above. The endocardium is smooth, beneath which
can be seen a red-brown myocardium. The aorta above the valve displays a
smooth intima with no atherosclerosis
APR-2015-CSBRP
This is infective endocarditis. The aortic valve demonstrates a large, irregular, reddish
tan vegetation.Virulent organisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, produce an "acute"
bacterial endocarditis, while some organisms such as Streptococcus viridans produce a
"subacute" bacterial endocarditis.

APR-2015-CSBRP
This is the tricuspid valve. The leaflets and thin and
delicate. Just like the mitral valve, the leaflets have thin
chordae tendineae that attach the leaflet margins to
the papillary muscles of the ventricular wall below.
APR-2015-CSBRP
The small verrucous vegetations seen along the closure line of this mitral
valve are associated with acute rheumatic fever. These warty vegetations
average only a few millimeters and form along the line of valve closure over
areas of endocardial inflammation. Such verrucae are too small to cause
serious cardiac problems.

Editor's Notes

  1. Acute bacterial IE: Usually occurs on previously-normal heart valves Infecting bug is highly virulent (e.g., Staph aureus) and produces necrotizing, destructive lesions Onset is stormy (abrupt fever, fatigue, weakness)  Prognosis is poor (hard to cure with antibiotics; usually needs surgery; high mortality) Subacute bacterial IE Usually occurs on an abnormal heart valve Infecting bug is of lower virulence (e.g., Strep viridans) and causes less destructive lesions Onset is less dramatic  Prognosis is relatively good (most patients are cured with antibiotics after a period of weeks/months)
  2. HACEK = Hemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eiknella and Kingella.
  3. HACEK = Hemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eiknella and Kingella.
  4. The aortic valve shows three thin and delicate cusps. The coronary artery orifices can be seen just above.The endocardium is smooth, beneath which can be seen a red-brown myocardium. The aorta above the valve displays a smooth intima with no atherosclerosis.
  5. This is infective endocarditis. The aortic valve demonstrates a large, irregular, reddish tan vegetation.Virulent organisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, produce an "acute" bacterial endocarditis, while some organisms such as Streptococcus viridans produce a "subacute" bacterial endocarditis.
  6. In this case, the infective endocarditis demonstrates how the infection tends to spread from the valve surface. Here, vegetations can be seen on the endocardial surfaces, and the infection is extending into to underlying myocardium.
  7. bacterial endocarditis – aortic valve vegetationsed, destruction of valves
  8. Little inflammation (if valve was normal): As the normal valves are not vascularized, there is little or no inflammatory reaction.
  9. Microscopically, the valve in infective endocarditis demonstrates friable vegetations of fibrin and platelets (pink) mixed with inflammatory cells and bacterial colonies (blue). The friability explains how portions of the vegetation can break off and embolize.
  10. Flourish as there is no immune attack = as there is no inflammation, the organisms are protected from the attack by PMNs and macrophages.
  11. Glomerulonephritis: Before the advent of antibiotics, acute proliferative GN caused by immune complexes developed in 75% of patients. GN is now uncommon seen only in <10% of cases of SABE.
  12. Osler nodes are red-purple, slightly raised, tender lumps, often with a pale centre. Pain often precedes the development of the visible lesion by up to 24 hours. They are typically found on the fingers and/or toes. They can occur at any time during the course of endocarditis (usually subacute) and last from hours to several days. Janeway lesions are non-tender, often haemorrhagic (bleeding into the skin), and occur mostly on the palms and soles including the thenar and hypothenar eminences (at the base of the thumb and little finger respectively). They tend to last days to weeks before healing totally. They are more commonly seen in acute endocarditis, when bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus may be cultured from them. The histology is usually consistent with septic micro-embolism (i.e. bacteria may be found within the blood vessels).
  13. Diagnosis by these guidelines, often called the Duke Criteria, requires either pathologic or clinical criteria; if clinical criteria are used, 2 major, 1 major + 3 minor, or 5 minor criteria are required for diagnosis. † Janeway lesions are small erythematous or hemorrhagic, macular, nontender lesions on the palms and soles and are the consequence of septic embolic events. ‡ Osler nodes are small, tender subcutaneous nodules that develop in the pulp of the digits or occasionally more proximally in the fingers and persist for hours to several days. § Roth spots are oval retinal hemorrhages with pale centers. Modified from Durack DT, et al: New criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis: utilization of specific echocardiographic findings. Am J Med, 96:200, 1994, and Karchmer AW: Infective Endocarditis. In Braunwald E, Zipes DP, Libby P (eds): Heart Disease. A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, 6th ed. Philadelphia, WB Saunders, 2001, p 1723.
  14. NBTE is often encountered in debilitated patients, such as those with cancer or sepsis—hence the previous term marantic endocarditis (root word marasmus, relating to malnutrition). It frequently occurs concomitantly with deep venous thromboses, pulmonary emboli, or other findings suggesting an underlying systemic hypercoagulable state. Indeed, there is a striking association with mucinous adenocarcinomas.

  17. The valve is seen on the left, and a bland vegetation is seen on the right. It appears pink because it is composed of fibrin and platelets. It displays about as much morphologic variation as a brown paper bag. Such bland vegetations are typical of the non-infective forms of endocarditis.

  19. Here are flat, pale tan, spreading vegetations over the mitral valve surface and even on the chordae tendineae. This patient has systemic lupus erythematosus. Thus, these vegetations that can be on any valve or even on endocardial surfaces are consistent with Libman-Sacks endocarditis. These vegetations appear in about 4% of SLE patients and rarely cause problems because they are not large and rarely embolize. Note also the thickened, shortened, and fused chordae tendineae that represent remote rheumatic heart disease.

  21. Benjamin Sacks was born on August 14th, 1896. He graduated from high school in three years, and began his collegiate career at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, earning recognition as a Phi Beta Kappa for devotion to learning. Sacks advanced his education at Johns Hopkins in the School of Medicine. After he earned his M.D., he became licensed to practice medicine in 1922 in the State of New York. His career began at The Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. In 1923, Sacks, along with partner Dr. Emanuel Libman, discovered an uncommon heart ailment called the Libman-Sacks Syndrome.(1) This particular type of heart ailment is reported postmortem in approximately 50% of fatal lupus cases. Sacks’ work at The Mount Sinai Hospital earned him respect and praise from the medical community. Louis Gross, M.D., the Director of Laboratories for Mount Sinai, had this to say about Dr. Benjamin Sacks in a letter of recommendation to United States Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming: Dr. Sacks is a man of striking personality. He is what is called a “natural born leader of men.” He is an extraordinarily able teacher and is a constant stimulus to those about him. He is exceptionally well trained for investigative work.(2) In the early 1950's Dr. Sacks served as a technical advisor on for the movie industry. By 1959, he had moved to Los Angeles. Sacks worked with actors including Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, and Barry Fitzgerald. Dr. Benjamin Sacks was known for his attention to detail, creating sets that were identical to a real hospital or doctor’s office. [Sacks] was flattered when a Los Angeles medico visited the set [of 'People Will Talk', a medical drama starring Cary Grant], scrutinized everything with a critical eye, and then said, “All right, wheel the patient in. I am ready.” (3) Sacks was an essential part of any production team he served. When asked what his job entailed, Sacks said, “I start with the story and make certain the dialogue shapes up correctly from a physician’s point of view. I talk over the backgrounds with the art department, look at costumes for both men and women, and work closely with the property department to see that every detail matches real life.” In the mid-1950’s, Sacks fell victim to failing health, and was forced to stop practicing medicine. He continued his role as a technical advisor to the film studios. His interests shifted towards the study of history, and Sacks found himself engaged in researching the Southwest, specifically Arizona. He was captivated by the years 1850 to 1875, when Arizona became a Territory after ceding from Mexico as a result of the Mexican-American War. For close to 20 years, he traveled the country and searched in repositories great and small. Dr. Sacks went about his research much like a detective would go about solving a crime, piecing together new hypotheses and theories while collecting data and pieces of the puzzle. He thought about his work while driving in his car, and even when lying in bed.(4) In 1959, Dr. Sacks met with Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater and Phoenix historian Bert Fireman in Washington, D.C. Out of this meeting was born the Arizona Historical Foundation, an institution “dedicated to preserving Arizona’s rich political, business and legal history.”(5) Goldwater was founder and the original president, Fireman executive director, and Sacks historical consultant. Sacks’ desire was to see the historical societies in Arizona take a more scholarly approach to analyzing their state’s rich history, and to focus on answering new questions that had yet to be considered. In 1964, Sacks published his first book about the history of Arizona. Entitled “Be It Enacted: the Creation of the Territory of Arizona,” Sacks delved into the Library of Congress archives and spent countless hours mining the country for information on the pioneers of the Arizona Territory. His work “will be long remembered in Arizona as a masterpiece of historical investigation and exposition,” believed John Alexander Carroll, then a Professor of History at the University of Arizona.(6) The exhaustive research received an Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Loral History. In 1970, Sacks released his second book, “Arizona’s Angry Man: United States Marshal Milton B. Duffield.” In the foreword, Senator Goldwater praised Sacks for his exceptional research. The study was the result of relentless research and astute scholarship of B. Sacks, retired physician and Historical Consultant of the [Arizona Historical] Foundation, who for two decades has devoted his entire energies to research into a multitude of problems in the early Territorial history of Arizona. At the same time he has been of willing and erudite assistance to many scholars, both within and outside our universities and state, offering advice and in many instances providing access to the remarkable research material he has accumulated.(7) This wealth of knowledge, now known as The Sacks Collection of the American West, is located at the Arizona Historical Foundation in the Hayden Library on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. A perfectionist in every sense of the word, Sacks compiled note cards containing bits of information, and filed them by subject in an exceptionally large card catalog. Many of the cards have a stamped number on them, which can be traced to the Manuscript Collection. Sacks often copied primary documents by hand, and filed them in boxes to keep his research in order. The attention to detail is an unusual, remarkable quality that is often not seen in collections of this size. Dr. Benjamin Sacks died on May 2nd, 1971. His achievements will continue to enrich the lives of those who seek his knowledge, and the body of research he left behind will support generations of avid historians of Arizona.. <http://www.ahfweb.org/collections_sacksbio.html>
  22. LSE sounds like SLE, easy to remember the condition associated with Libman-Sacks endocarditis.
  23. Figure 12-24 Comparison of the four major forms of vegetative endocarditis. The rheumatic fever phase of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is marked by small, warty vegetations along the lines of closure of the valve leaflets. Infective endocarditis (IE) is characterized by large, irregular masses on the valve cusps that can extend onto the chordae (see Fig. 12-25A). Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) typically exhibits small, bland vegetations, usually attached at the line of closure. One or many may be present (see Figure 12-26). Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) has small or medium-sized vegetations on either or both sides of the valve leaflets.
  24. The small pink vegetation on the rightmost cusp margin represents the typical finding with non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (or so-called "marantic endocarditis"). This is non-infective. It tends to occur in persons with a hypercoagulable state (Trousseau's syndrome, a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with malignancies) and in very ill persons.

  26. The small verrucous vegetations seen along the closure line of this mitral valve are associated with acute rheumatic fever. These warty vegetations average only a few millimeters and form along the line of valve closure over areas of endocardial inflammation. Such verrucae are too small to cause serious cardiac problems.
