Libman-Sachs endocarditis

Liebman-Saxon endocarditis is a rare but dangerous disease that occurs as a result of inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocardium) and the heart septum. Most often, it is caused by infectious processes such as streptococcal or staphylococcal infections.

Clinically, Libanna-Saxon endocarditis is manifested by symptoms of heart pain, increased pulse, tachycardia, shortness of breath, elevated temperature and increased levels of leukocytes in the blood. Arrhythmias and irregular heart rhythms may also occur. Symptoms may vary depending on the cause of endocarditis.

To diagnose endocarditis, Libman-Saxon requires a chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, blood test, heart tissue biopsy, or other additional tests. Treatment of endocarditis usually consists of antibiotic therapy and the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. However, timely diagnosis and treatment can help avoid severe complications and death of the disease.
