Infective Endocarditis (Hardbound)

Infective Endocarditis Book Description

The Second Edition of Infective Endocarditis is the most complete reference on the clinical, pathological, microbiological, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects of this disease. Leading experts detail the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of infective endocarditis, the laboratory studies and cardiac imaging modalities used in diagnosis, the microbiology of the various etiologic agents, the syndromes associated with these microorganisms, and the disease patterns seen in specific patient populations and recommend appropriate, cost-effective therapeutic and prophylactic strategies.
