If endocarditis has damaged your heart, you will likely require long-term follow-up care by your cardiologist to best manage your condition and symptoms.
- Make sure you keep any scheduled appointments with your cardiology team.
- Take any medicines exactly as directed.
- Tell your providers about any new symptoms you experience.
If you have ever had endocarditis, tell your provider this before having any medical or dental procedures. Your provider can give you antibiotics before your procedure to prevent another infection.
