    They make it difficult to study the natural history of IE in the general population, because treated and triaged patients enrich the sample seen at regional high-volume centers. Inferences drawn from results of treating such selected patients may not be helpful to the primary care physician, who is left without a clear picture of natural history until conservative treatment fails or appears futile, and it becomes clear that the patient must be referred.9-29 These AATS consensus guidelines add to current ones related to IE from cardiology, infectious disease, and cardiac surgery societies by creating an easy-to-use set of recommendations addressing specific questions relevant and important to cardiac surgeons before, during, and after operation.3-8
