International Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

Increasing numbers of patients are living with congenital heart disease at a time when body art is growing in popularity. We present a case of subacute bacterial endocarditis following repeated tattooing in a patient with known valvular heart disease. This case highlights the importance of education of patients with structural heart disease to the potential risks of such procedures, particularly at a time when endocarditis prophylaxis protocols are being revised.
