| 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) |

| endocarditis | <pathology> Exudative and proliferative inflammatory alterations of the endocardium, characterised by the presence of vegetations on the surface of the endocardium or in the endocardium itself and most commonly involving a heart valve, but sometimes affecting the inner lining of the cardiac chambers or the endocardium elsewhere. It may occur as a primary disorder or as a complication of or in association with another disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| endocarditis chordalis | Endocarditis affecting particularly the chordae tendineae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endocarditis, subacute bacterial | Infection of the endocardium caused by species of streptococcus. This condition does not produce metastatic foci and if untreated may take up to a year to be fatal. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Loffler's endocarditis | Fibroplastic parietal endocarditis with eosinophilia, an endocarditis of obscure cause characterised by progressive congestive heart failure, multiple systemic emboli, and eosinophilia. Synonym: Loffler's disease, Loffler's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Loffler's parietal fibroplastic endocarditis | Sclerosis of the endocardium in the presence of a high eosinophile count. (05 Mar 2000) |
