Q: what to do if you got subacute endocarditis? what are your chances?

: Need much more information - name of bacteria? Which valve is involved? Degree of destruction of valve. Additional underlying conditions? How acquired? In sum, this is a serious condition and requires a full examination. Vast majority are curable, but you really need to speak with your treating doctor(s)
