Contemporary epidemiology of infective endocarditis in patients with congenital heart disease: A UK prospective study

TL;DR: The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: The 2023 Statistical Update as mentioned in this paper provides the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health.

TL;DR: This year's edition of the AHA Statistical Update includes additional global data, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains.

TL;DR: The recommendations provided in this document are intended to assist in the management of this uncommon but potentially deadly infection and must be used to support and not supplant decisions in individual patient management.

TL;DR: With an increase of >50% in CHD prevalence since 2000, by 2010 adults accounted for two thirds of patients with severe and other forms of CHD in the general population.

TL;DR: D Deaths in CHD have shifted away from infants and towards adults, with a steady increase in age at death and decreasing mortality, and gains in survival were mostly driven by reduced mortality in severe forms of CHD.

TL;DR: S. aureus became both the leading cause and the most important prognostic factor of IE, and healthcare-associated IE appeared as a major subgroup of the disease.
