Abstract

Fungal infections of the heart occur significantly less frequently than bacterial infections, but they carry an excessively high mortality rate. Fungal endocarditis has an estimate mortality rate of ~50% while bacterial causes result in an ~18% in-hospital mortality (Murdoch et al., 2009). This article covers the cardiac involvement, particularly endocarditis and myocarditis, of common invasive fungi pathogens.
