Article Abstract
Primary mural endocarditis without valvular involvement is rare and most often involves the ventricular endocardium. Left atrial mural endocarditis is an extremely rare subset of infective endocarditis. We describe a case of a young woman with left atrial mural endocarditis without significant structural or valvular heart disease.

An 11-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel with a previous diagnosis of preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) was presented with respiratory distress and abdominal distension. Lung edema and ascites were diagnosed. Echocardiography revealed a progression of the MMVD as it was associated with a moderate enlargement of the left-sided cardiac chambers and an atrial septal defect (ASD).

Current guidelines do not recommend routine cardiac imaging in patients with gram-negative bacteremia, as gram-negative infective endocarditis is rare. Nongastrointestinal infections causing endocarditis are even more uncommon, especially in the developed world. We present the case of a 60-year-old female with bacteremia, ultimately found to have a right atrial mural endocarditis involving an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and an indwelling venous catheter.

A 38-year-old man with a history of a recently drained back abscess presented with progressive fatigue and myalgias in the setting of bacteremia. Echocardiography demonstrated a large, highly mobile aortic valve vegetation that could be seen migrating from the left ventricular outflow tract into the aortic root. Intraoperative assessment yielded a normal, trileaflet aortic valve without any evidence of endocarditis.
