Endocarditis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Endocarditis is an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart and its valves, usually caused by an infection that reaches that area through the bloodstream.
Common symptoms: fever, chills, tiredness, night sweats, muscle aches, and, in some cases, heart-related signs; the manifestations can vary and sometimes appear subtly.
Why it matters to treat it? Because it affects the heart valves, it is a condition that requires careful and timely medical evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist evaluates how the heart is working, while the internist and the infectious disease specialist take part in the study of the infection. When there is persistent fever with no clear cause, especially if there are prior heart problems, the most prudent thing is to seek medical care without delay.
