Actualmente, los organismos que causan ésta enfermedad han cambiado respecto a los que antiguamente se describían en la literatura. Además, los métodos diagnósticos han avanzado hacia un reconocimiento más temprano de la misma. Se comentan las nuevas guías clínicas y ecocardiográficas que se han establecido para el seguimiento de estos pacientes. En este artículo se presentan las manifestaciones clínicas que presenta la endocarditis infecciosa hoy en día. Además, se reconoce la ecocardiografía como herramienta indispensable para el diagnóstico y manejo de la enfermedad. Se amplian los conceptos sobre las diferencias diagnósticos que se pueden obtener de un ecocardiograma transtorácico y uno transesofágico. Se presentan, además, los hallazgos que se deben buscar en cada uno de estos exámenes y cómo estos mismos se pueden utilizar para el seguimiento del paciente. Se revisa, en detalle, los organismos nuevos y atípicos que se empiezan a presentar en esta enfermedad; y las complicaciones que se ven relacionadas a los mismos. Las complicaciones atípicas de este padecimiento también son abordadas, así como el tratamiento para los agentes etiológicos más frecuentes.</p></abstract>

El diagnóstico rápido, medidas adecuadas en el manejo médico como el uso de balón de contrapulsación intra aórtico y la corrección quirúrgica pronta son algunos de los esfuerzos que se han realizado para mejorar la sobrevida y disminuir el tiempo de recuperación de los pacientes, posterior a un evento de este tipo. Dentro de los factores de riesgo para la comunicación interventricular post infarto destacan la edad avanzada, sexo femenino, el infarto de cara anterior, y la ausencia de tabaquismo. En este artículo se presenta el caso de una paciente de la Unidad Coronaria del Hospital San Juan de Dios y se hace revisión del tema.</p></abstract>

El tratamiento combinado de aspirina con gammaglobulina intravenosa precoz y a altas dosis ha conseguido disminuir la incidencia de la patología coronaría. A continuación se presenta el caso de una niña de 9 años de edad, con cuadro clínico de enfermedad de Kawasaki complicada con un aneurisma sacular gigante de la arteria coronaría izquierda. Los hallazgos ecocardiográficos y angiográficos se analizan y se revisa la literatura al respecto.</p></abstract>
