Overview

Endocarditis may be classified based on the underlying pathophysiology of the process (infective vs. non-infective), the onset of the disease (acute vs. subacute or short incubation vs. long incubation), results of the cultures (culture-positive vs. culture-negative), the nature of the valve (native vs. prosthetic) and the valve affected (aortic, mitral, or tricuspid valve).

Classification

Endocarditis may be classified into 8 subtypes based on:[1][2][3]

Classification criterion Subgroups
Underlying pathophysiology
Onset of the disease
Culture result
  • Culture positive vs. culture negative
Nature of the valve
