title: [Characteristics of acute infectious endocarditis in various types of hospitals].
abstract: The study has revealed that active forms of infectious endocarditis constitute 30-50% of all septic diseases in hospitals. It is the normal cusps of the valvular apparatus of the left cardiac portion that are predominantly damaged, deformed or destroyed. Endocardial involvement of the right portion of the heart and the pulmonary artery occurs very rarely. Infectious patients develop sepsis more frequently than patients with non-infectious diseases but it takes the form of acute infectious endocarditis less commonly. Currently the clinical course of acute infectious endocarditis is characterized by predominantly ulcerous thrombotic damage of the normal valves with the formation of heart disease, the development of congestive insufficiency of the circulation and thromboembolic complications and the lethal outcome in the first weeks of hospitalization in 95.6% of patients with acute endocarditis in infectious and 56.6% in non-infectious hospitals.
