dc.description.abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a relatively rare but life-threatening systemic infection, which remains associated with high morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology of IE has shifted to involve an increasing numbers of older patients with both cardiovascular and other types of prosthetic devices, multiple comorbid conditions often requiring invasive procedures, increasingly virulent pathogens, in particular Staphylococcus aureus, or that can harbour anti-microbial resistance, and an escalation of injection drug use in many areas of the world. In parallel, advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic options have led to complex strategies in patients’ management. Despite these epidemiologic shifts, clinical trials have been rare and most of the evidence guiding IE management derives from expert consensus or analysis of large registries. Because of this, a multi-disciplinary IE team-based approach has been recommended as the standard of care. The aim of this review is to explore the rationale for a multi-disciplinary team-based approach to the management of IE. This approach has proved to be potentially beneficial based on multiple investigations that have evaluated patient outcomes. In addition, implementation strategies, feasibility and options of the team approach have also been highlighted.
