Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients with IE are affected by a lengthy hospitalization, leading to physical deconditioning and a rapid decline in physical fitness, muscle mass and strength. Moreover, prolonged antibiotic regimens frequently result in nausea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea and Clostridioides difficile (C.difficile) intestinal infections that further negatively affect patient health. These physical challenges are further exacerbated by the negative impact on mental health, increasing the overall burden of the illness. Implementing a targeted rehabilitative strategy in the hospital setting may therefore improve patient care including physical health and overall quality of life during hospitalization.
