The aim of this study of 101 cases of @entity884 was to determine the factors predisposing to @entity712 , the prognostic factors of this complication and the therapeutic implications. A significant (p less than 0.05) Chi square test was the statistical reference. Fifty-two per cent of @entity1 developed @entity712 which was biventricular in 48 p. 100 of cases and the presenting symptom in 64 p. 100. The mean age of the @entity1 with @entity712 was 56.6 years with a clear male predominance. In 48 p. 100 of cases, @entity712 complicated a pre-existing @entity299 which was usually acquired (84 p. 100). The commonest condition was @entity340 of the aortic and mitral valves (70 p. 100 of cases with @entity712 ). @entity712 was observed more frequently and earlier in aortic than in @entity339 . The commonest infecting organism was the streptococcus (53 p. 100 of cases with @entity712 ) and the most frequent presumed portal of entry was dental (25 p. 100). @entity943 were observed in 51 p. 100 of @entity1 in @entity712 , the commonest being @entity955 (34 p. 100) complicating @entity339 in 56 p. 100 of cases; 17 p. 100 of @entity943 were ventricular. @entity8526 were observed in 26 p. 100 of cases with @entity712 , 55 p. 100 of which had @entity886 . @entity340 were demonstrated by echocardiography in 43 p. 100 of cases with @entity712 . Valve replacement had to be performed for resistant @entity712 in 13 p. 100 of cases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
