Although infective endocarditis is certainly not the most common infection seen in injecting drug users, it is the infection that clinicians most commonly think of when they consider infectious complications of injected drug use. The microbiology of infective endocarditis in injection drug users has remained relatively stable over the last several decades. Tricuspid valve endocarditis has been associated most frequently with injection drug use, but recent reports have suggested that involvement of left-sided valves is seen more often now than in the past. The use of transesophageal echocardiography has greatly advanced the ability to diagnose infective endocarditis and the cardiac complications of valvular infection.
