Journal ArticleDOI
Definition, clinical profile, microbiological spectrum, and prognostic factors of early-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis
Javier López,Ana Revilla,Isidre Vilacosta,Eduardo Villacorta,Carlos González-Juanatey,Itziar Gómez,María Jesús Rollán,José Alberto San Román +7 more
TL;DR: The most appropriate cutoff time to distinguish between early- and late-onset PVE was 1 year, and methicilin-resistant CNS are the most frequent pathogens and periannular complications, the only risk factor for in-hospital mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and prognostic profile of patients with infective endocarditis who need urgent surgery
Ana Revilla,Javier López,Isidre Vilacosta,Eduardo Villacorta,María Jesús Rollán,J.R. Echevarría,Yolanda Carrascal,Salvatore Di Stefano,Enrique Fulquet,Enrique Rodríguez,Luis Fiz,José Alberto San Román +11 more
TL;DR: The profile of patients with left-sided endocarditis who underwent urgent surgery was described and the factors that predicted mortality were analyzed to confirm patients with IE who need urgent surgery have a poor clinical course.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of the diastolic vortex ring to left ventricular filling.
Pablo Martinez-Legazpi,Javier Bermejo,Yolanda Benito,Raquel Yotti,Candelas Pérez del Villar,Ana González-Mansilla,Alicia Barrio,Eduardo Villacorta,Pedro L. Sánchez,Francisco Fernández-Avilés,Juan C. del Álamo +10 more
TL;DR: The diastolic vortex is responsible for entering a significant fraction of LV filling volume at no energetic or pressure cost, and intraventricular fluid mechanics are an important determinant of global chamber LV operative stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-dependent profile of left-sided infective endocarditis: a 3-center experience.
Javier López,Ana Revilla,Isidre Vilacosta,Teresa Sevilla,Eduardo Villacorta,Cristina Sarriá,Eduardo Pozo,María Jesús Rollán,Itziar Gómez,Pedro Mota,José Alberto San Román +10 more
TL;DR: Increasing age is associated with less valvular impairment (insufficiency and perforation), a more favorable microbiological profile, and increased surgical mortality among adults with left-sided infective endocarditis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolated Right-Sided Valvular Endocarditis in Non-Intravenous Drug Users
Ana Revilla,Javier Lopez,Eduardo Villacorta,Itziar Gómez,Teresa Sevilla,Miguel A. Pozo,Luis de la Fuente,María del Carmen Manzano,Pedro Mota,Santiago Flórez,Isidre Vilacosta,Cristina Sarriá,Mariano Martín Sánchez,José Alberto San Román +13 more
TL;DR: Isolated right-sided endocarditis should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with febrile syndrome, respiratory symptoms and predisposing disease, even when they do not have a pacemaker and are not intravenous drug users (IVDU).
