Abstract
Intravascular diseases due to Candida species, including endocarditis and cardiac device-associated infections, are rare yet devastating manifestations of invasive candidiasis affecting an already vulnerable population. Despite their significant associated morbidity and mortality, limited prospective data exist to inform the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these entities. Herein, we review the existing literature pertaining to the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of infectious endocarditis, rhythm management device infections, and circulatory support device infections caused by Candida species and suggest areas for future research.
