Echocardiography in Infective Endocarditis Diagnosis infective endocarditis by clinical criteria should be screened by TTE. When the images are of good quality and the study is negative, an alternative diagnosis should be sought, if the clinical suspicion is low. If the clinical suspicion is high, TOE should be performed. TOE should also be performed

Diagnostic Criteria for Infective Endocarditis is the cornerstone of the successive diagnostic criteria proposed to facilitate the difficult diagnosis of the disease. During the past decades these classifications have been modified with the progress of the microbiological testing and the cardiac imaging techniques. Recently, the 2015 Guidelines

Hemodynamic Complications in Infective Endocarditissiology of acute AR accounts for particularities in clinical and echocardiographic presentation which may represent diagnostic pitfalls. Acute regurgitations are poorly tolerated due to the lack of left ventricular adaptation. Heart failure occurs in approximately a third of patients with IE and is

Valvular complications can vary from leaflet erosion or perforation to diverticulum formation, while perivalvular involvement includes abscess, perivalvular regurgitation, pseudoaneurysm and fistula. Transesophageal echocardiography is the preferred imaging tool in t

Embolic Complications in Infective Endocarditits in assessing embolic risk and patients with large vegetations are at high risk of embolism. Early diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) and prompt start of antibiotic therapy are essential for preventing embolic complications of IE because the incidence of embolic events markedly decreases after

practical challenges still exist with regard to the accurate prediction of extreme motion and capsize dynamics for intact and damaged vessels, the probabilistic nature of extreme events, criteria that properly reflect the physics and operational safety of an intact or damaged vessel, and ways to pro
