AB  - A method of identifying patients at r,sk from bacterial endocarditis is described. All at-risk patients in one practice were identified, contacted and counselled. Twothirds of these at-risk patients had no contact with the appropriate hospital outpatient department. It is suggested that the general practitioner has the primary role in the prevention of this disease.
