Changed from previous version of American Heart Association guidelines for Infectious Endocarditis prevention, modified indications for antibacterial chemotherapy are highlighted. Such modifications are mainly derived by evidence-based medicine. A proper evaluation, consultation and antibiotic prescription may prevent unnecessary antibiotic administration and its consequences in terms of antibiotic resistance and economic burden.
