Prevention of infective endocarditis is an integral part of the management of paediatric patients with cardiovascular disease in the Czech Republic. The experience resulting from the restrictions on prophylactic antibiotic administration prior to high-risk procedures, which have been introduced worldwide, suggests that pediatric population may benefit from the antibiotic prophylaxis. In addition,

it is essential to follow general preventive measures, especially the prevention of dental caries, and to educate the patient and

parents about them.
