Mital valve related to systemic circulation. So, mobilization from it causes stroke & on the otherhand tricuspid valve related to pulmonary circulation. So, duration of antibiotic treatment is long incase of mitral valve infection.
The mitral valve is more commonly affected in left-sided endocarditis, while the tricuspid valve is more commonly affected in right-sided endocarditis. Left-sided endocarditis is generally considered more serious and carries a higher risk of complications such as valve destruction, embolism, and systemic complications. Therefore, treatment for left-sided endocarditis may be longer to ensure complete eradication of the infection and to minimise the risk of complications.
