Abstract

Infective endocarditis may be complicated by many organ failures such as acute pulmonary edema, cardiogenic or septic shock, coma or acute kidney injury, and then require ICU admission. Intensivists will have to evoke and confirm the diagnosis, start antibiotic therapy and consider surgical indications and contraindications. It requires close collaboration with other specialists in cardiology, cardiac surgery, infectious diseases, neurology, imaging, anesthesiology, for case-by-case decision making.
