(cdc.gov)
- The reasons for this rise are the following: 1) longer survival of patients with degenerative heart diseases, 2) increased use of antibiotics, 3) increased incidence of prosthetic heart valves, 4) congenital heart disease in younger children, 5) increase in bicuspid valve disease, 6) advances in medical and surgical treatments, 7) increase in the number of injection drug users, and 8) more sensitive and specific diagnosis.

Diagnosis4
- The information should not be used for either diagnosis or treatment or both for any health related problem or disease. (medindia.net)

- In 1885, Sir William Osler presented three Gulstonian Lectures on the topic of malignant endocarditis, which gave a comprehensive account of the disease and outlined the difficulties in its diagnosis ( 2 ). (cdc.gov)
People6
- The discovery and the understanding of such conserved changes might ultimately pave the way for identifying people at risk for AD earlier than is currently possible, which could in turn improve patients' quality of life and help to reduce the social and economic impact of these diseases.
