Abstract
- Infective endocarditis complicates hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in 5~9% of cases. It's incidence is higher in those with obstruction or left atrial enlargement. Early surgical intervention is usually needed in patients with acute infective endocarditis and progressive congestive heart failure. We reported a case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy complicated by infective endocarditis, which was diagnosed by echocardiography and was treated by surgical intervention.
