What are the different causes of noninfective vegetative endocarditis?
The causes of noninfective vegetative endocarditis can be categorized into 4: neoplasia associated (atrial myxoma, marantic endocarditis, neoplastic disease, and carcinoid), autoimmune associated (rheumatic carditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, polyarteritis nodosa, and Beh et disease), postvalvular surgery (thrombus, stitch, or other postsurgery changes), and miscellaneous (eosinophilic heart disease, ruptured mitral chordae, and myxomatous degeneration).
