- Abstract
In this integrative review, an analysis of the literature was carried out to clarify challenges and new perspectives with regard to infective endocarditis. In this sense, after analyzing the articles selected by specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, the results point to the limited knowledge of patients about oral hygiene as one of the major challenges in preventing the disease, increasing the number of cases and revealing the inadequate communication of doctors to patients about such preventive measures. In addition, the importance of correctly predicting risk factors for cardiac surgery in patients with endocarditis was observed, so that it is possible to analyze the surgical risk accurately, in order to avoid hospital mortality due to the procedure. Finally, it was clear the existence of several variables with regard to the causes and risk factors of the disease.
