Heart Valve Infection
Valve infection, also called endocarditis, is an inflammation of the heart valves caused by microorganisms that reach the bloodstream and settle on their surface.
Common symptoms: It may present with fever, tiredness, sweating, palpitations, or a general malaise that goes on over time.
When to see the doctor? It is advisable to seek care for persistent fever without a clear cause, especially if there is a history of heart conditions or recent procedures.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the appropriate professional to evaluate valve infection, with the involvement of the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon when necessary, and of the pediatric cardiologist or the pediatrician in children. If you have these symptoms along with a heart history, a timely cardiology evaluation is most advisable.
