surface of the heart

inflammation of the myocardium

pericardial sac (the pericardium)

heart

development of penicillin

* Causative organism -often bacterial
* Streptococcus viridans
* Staphylococcus aureus
* Other Etiologies
* Viruses- Coxsackie B
+ Fungi - Candida alibcans
صفحه 5:
Etiology and
Pathophysiology
* Occurs when blood turbulence within
heart allows causative agent to infect
previously damaged valves or other
endothelial surfaces
صفحه 6:
Etiology and
Pathophysiology
* Vegetation -
—Fibrin, leukocytes, platelets, and
microbes
— Adhere to the valve or endocardium
— Embolization of portions of vegetation
into circulation
-—50% of patients with IE will have
systemic embolization

صفحه 16:
Assesment endocarditis
* Infection and emboli
— Emboli-spleen most often affected (splenectomy)
- Osler’s nodes- painful, red or purple pea-sized lesions on toes and
fingertips
- Splinter hemorrhages- black longitudinal streaks on nail beds
— Janeway lesions- fiat, painless, small, red spots on palms and soles
— Roth spots- hemorrhagic retinal lesions
— Murmur- most have murmurs
- T above (blood cultures) and low-grade
— Chills
— Anorexia
- Fatigue
صفحه 17:
Splinter hemorrhage
* small areas of bleeding
under the fingernails or
toenails.
* due to damage to
capillaries by small clots

Diagnostic Tests
* Blood Cultures- most likely positive
unless recent antibiotic tx
* Echocardiogram-TEE best- see
vegetations
* Other- WBC with differential,
CBC,ESR, serum creatinine,CXR, and
EKG
صفحه 22:
Medications
* Antibiotics
— IV for 4-8 weeks
— Monitor BUN and Creatinine.
- Evaluate effectiveness of treatment with repeated blood
cultures.
صفحه 23:
Additional Treatment
Fungal infections- poor responsive to
drug therapy
May require valve replacement
Relapses are common
Bedrest usually not indicated unless
febrile, HF or other complications
صفحه 24:
Nursing Diagnoses
Decreased cardiac output r/t valve
insufficiency and altered rhythm
Activity intolerance r/t alternation in
02 transport system secondary to
valve dysfunction
Hyperthermia r/t infection of

Ineffective Health Maintenance
صفحه 25:
Complications
Emboli (50% incidence)
- Right side- pulmonary emboli (esp. with IV drug abuse)
— Left side-brain, spleen, heart, limbs, etc
CHF-check edema, rales, VS
Arrhythmias- A-fib, conduction blocks
Death
صفحه 26:
Myocarditis
Myocarditis is an uncommon
inflammation of the heart muscle (
myocardium). This inflammation can
be caused by infectious agents,
toxins, drugs or for unknown reasons.
It may be localized to one area of the
heart, or it may affect the entire
heart.

(9
+ Myocarditis
— Virus, toxin or autoimmune response causes necrosis of
the myocardium
— Most often caused by viral infection
— Frequently caused by Coxsackie A and B virus
— Frequently follows an upper respiratory infection or viral
illness
— Can result in decreased contractility
— Can become chronic and lead to dilated
cardiomyopathy- heart transplant or death

Toxic or chemical effects (radiation,

* Cardiac s/s 7-10 days after viral
infection
—Pleuritic chest pain (pericardial friction
rub)
+ Pericarditis frequently occurs with
myocarditis- check friction rub

Tachycardias,
* Signs of heart failure -late cardiac s/s
—§3 heart sound, crackles, JVD, syncope,
صفحه 31:
Myocarditis- Assessment
* Sudden Death-
—In young adults Myocarditis is the cause
of up to 20% of sudden cardiac death
صفحه 32:
Diagnostic Tests
EKG- Non-specific T-wave abnormalities
CK-MB and Troponin may be elevated
Endomyocardial biopsy- there are risks and not
used for every case but is definitive for
myocarditis
Chest X-Ray- Variable (Normal to Cardiomegaly)
Echocardiogram
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonace
A safe and sensitive noninvasive diagnostic test
to confirm the diagnosis is not available
صفحه 33:
Myocarditis Treatment
٠ Manage cardiac symptoms
* Viral - antibiotics for secondary
* Treatment Goal
— Decrease workload of the heart so it
can heal
صفحه 34:
Medications
Digoxin- use cautiously!
— Improves CO but causes dysrhytmias in these
patients
HF drugs- ACE, diuretics, beta blockers etc
Immunosupressive therapy
—IVIG, prednisone, etc
— Evidence inconclusive
Anticoagulants-
— Reduces risks of thrombus in low EF

Other Treatments
Bedrest and activity restrictions- Why
important??
**Activities may be limited for 6
months- 1 yr.

— watch for signs of heart failure;

صفحه 37:
Pericarditis
* Pericarditis is an inflammation of the
pericardium, the thin, fluid-filled
sac surrounding the heart. It can
cause severe chest pain (especially
upon taking a deep breath) and
shortness of breath.
