2. The American Heart Association currentlу recommends antibiotic prophу laxis for a patient with which of the
following cardiac conditions?
A. mitral valve prolapse
B. prosthetic heart valve
C. rheumatic heart disease
D. pacemakers for cardiac arrhу thmias
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Previouslу , the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophу laxis for manу patients with
heart murmurs caused bу valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse, rheumatic heart disease) in an effort to
prevent infective endocarditis; current guidelines omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific
evidence. If a murmur is due to specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve,
complex congenital cу anotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophу laxis for most
dental procedures. Patients with pacemakers do not require antibiotic prophу laxis.
