AB  - Cardiac  infections  are  severe,  life-threatening  infections  in  many  cases.  The  heart  valves  (endocardium),  myocardium,  and  pericardium  can  all  be  infected.  In  addition,  infection  of  cardiac  devices  (pacemakers,  defibrillators)  is  becoming  more  frequently  diagnosed  with  their  increase  in  use.  Diagnosis  of  cardiac  infection  can  be  challenging  and  usually  requires  a  combination  of  microbiologic  testing  and  cardiac  imaging.  Treatment  often  requires  antimicrobial  therapy  but  may  also  require  surgical  management  for  cure.
