, 2. The American Heart Association currently recommends antibiotic prophylaxis 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 arrhythmias
RIGHT ANSWER: B
Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis for many
patients with heart murmurs caused by 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 cyanotic heart disease), the
AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for most dental procedures. Patients with
pacemakers do not require antibiotic prophylaxis.
PTS: 1 REF: pp. 4-5

including local anesthetics and analgesics.
