Infective endocarditis is a disease that affects mainly the endocardial surface of the heart and cardiac valves (native or prosthetic). The main risk factors for developing infective endocarditis are male sex, older age, intracardiac shunts, prosthetic valves, rheumatic, and congenital heart disease, intracardiac devices, intravenous drugs use, immunosuppression, and hemodialysis. Streptococci and Staphylococci spp.

Background: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a major focus of cardiovascular medicine, but limited data are available for racial and ethnic minorities. The aim was to assess the burden and clinical correlates of VHD in a highly diverse area of the United States.
Methods And Results: Individuals with echocardiographic diagnosis of native VHD between January 2010 and December 2019 at a quaternary care health system of the Bronx (New York, USA) were included.

Submitral aneurysm is a challenging and uncommon cardiac disease that is uniquely related to the posterior mitral valve leaflet. Awareness and prompt identification are vital because of the strong predilection for sudden fatal complications. Techniques and timing of surgical procedures are not standardized, especially in incidentally detected cases.

Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and usually treated with oral anticoagulants to prevent strokes, where direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are more effective in reducing certain types of bleeding compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA).
- The INVICTUS study showed that the DOAC rivaroxaban was not superior to VKA in preventing serious complications like stroke for patients with rheumatic valvular AF, leading to higher death and drug discontinuation rates in the DOAC group.
- While VKAs remain the standard treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe mitral stenosis and prosthetic valves, new factor XI inhibitors show promise in reducing bleeding risks and are currently undergoing further testing in AF and
