| PVE | Prosthetic valve endocarditis |
|---|---|
| SBE | Subacute bacterial endocarditis |
| malignant endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vegetative endocarditis | <cardiology, pathology> Endocarditis associated with the presence of fibrinous clots (vegetations) forming on the ulcerated surfaces of the valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marantic endocarditis | Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis associated with cancer and other debilitating diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rheumatic endocarditis | Endocardial involvment as part of rheumatic heart disease, recognised clinically by valvular involvement; in the acute stage, there may be tiny fibrin vegetations along the lines of closure of the valve leaflets, with subsequent fibrous thickening and shortening of the leaflets. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mural endocarditis | Inflammation of the endocardium involving the walls of the chambers of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| constrictive endocarditis | Thickening of the endocardium due to inflammation of any origin that restricts the diastolic relaxation of one or both ventricles producing diastolic ventricular failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycotic endocarditis | Endocarditis due to infection by fungi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polypous endocarditis | Bacterial endocarditis with the formation of pedunculated masses of fibrin, or thrombi, attached to the ulcerated valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subacute bacterial endocarditis | Subacute bacterial endocarditis is usually due to Streptococcus viridans or S. Fecalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis | Verrucous endocardial lesions occurring in the terminal stages of many chronic infectious and wasting diseases. Synonym: abacterial thrombotic endocarditis, cachectic endocarditis, terminal endocarditis, thromboendocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonbacterial verrucous endocarditis | Verrucous endocarditis sometimes associated with disseminated lupus erythematosus. Synonym: atypical verrucous endocarditis, Libman-Sacks syndrome, nonbacterial verrucous endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infective endocarditis | Endocarditis due to infection by microorganisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isolated parietal endocarditis | Fibrous thickening of the endocardium of the left ventricle without valvular involvement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal endocarditis | Verrucous endocardial lesions occurring in the terminal stages of many chronic infectious and wasting diseases. Synonym: abacterial thrombotic endocarditis, cachectic endocarditis, terminal endocarditis, thromboendocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
