Hepatitis C Treatment Outcomes for Patients With Infective Endocarditis Treated by an Interdisciplinary Team

Despite efforts promoting expedited treatment and interdisciplinary coordination of care, sustained virologic response rates for patients with endocarditis and HCV infection remained <40%. More research is required to determine if interventions such as starting therapy during inpatient stay or immediately upon discharge and dispensing the entire course of medication at once can improve treatment outcomes.
