A damage in the inner lining of the heart chambers and heart valves usually caused by a bacteria, fungi or other germs from another part of the body that spread through the bloodstream and attach to damaged areas in your heart.

This is why many cases go undiagnosed. Many of the symptoms are similar to cases of the flu or general infections, such as pneumonia.
