Libman-Sacks endocarditis, also known as murantic or verrucous endocarditis, is a form of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) which involves the presence of sterile vegetations on the cardiac valves. These sterile vegetations may be associated with malignancy, systemic lupus erythematosus, or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and are most commonly found on mitral and aortic valves, though other valves may be involved. This activity describes the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of Libman-Sacks endocarditis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of this condition.
