THE COMPARISON OF MORPHOMETRIC DATA WITH CLINICAL, MICROBIOLOGICAL AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC CRITERIA OF LEFT PARTS INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
To determine the diagnostic validity of histological study and the feasibility of using this type of data for the correction of treatment tactics, the comparison of the data obtained on the basis of morphometric analysis of remote intracardiac structures in patients operated on for valve infective endocarditis of left parts of the heart, with the main clinical, microbiological and echocardiographic characteristics of the disease was performed in this research. Data were studied from 62 patients with left part of infective endocarditis in the period from 2010 to 2013. This study showed that the morphological and histological criteria allow more detail to describe the notion "active endocarditis" and to choose the most adequate treatment strategy. In the control group of patients the severity of morphological changes according to most of the criteria corresponds to the severity of clinical manifestations that determine the severity of the condition and the forecast in infective endocarditis. It is necessary to use a comprehensive approach, including histological and morphological criteria of infective endocarditis.
