Endocarditis: wait to see what the Ultrasound shows but doubtful you have damage inspire of having endocarditis. Stay healthy

Not necessarily: There may be no permanent damage to your heart from the endocarditis. The ultrasound will provide more information about this. There is no evidence that acute endocarditis affects longevity (length of life). If the ultrasound does reveal damage, there are a number of things that can be helpful in maintaining your heart function, such as regular aerobic exercise.
