Imaging Experimental Infective Endocarditis
The capability of radionuclide imaging to detect experimental aortic valve infective endocarditis was assessed with indium-111 ("'In)-labeled blood cells. Sequential cardiac imaging and tissue distribution studies were obtained in 17 rabbits with infective endocarditis after administration of "..In-platelets and in five after "'In-polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Forty-eight to 72 hours after plat...
متن کاملI-55: Molecular Imaging Overview
Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...
متن کاملCardiac imaging in infectious endocarditis.
Infectious endocarditis remains both a diagnostic and a treatment challenge. A positive outcome depends on a rapid diagnosis, accurate risk stratification, and a thorough follow-up. Imaging plays a key role in each of these steps and echocardiography remains the cornerstone of the methods in use. The technique of both transthoracic echocardiography and transoesophageal echocardiography has been...
متن کاملBacterial Endocarditis and Periodontal Disease
Bacterial endocarditis is the infection of inner lining of heart and /or heart valves. This disease is usually related to the presence of some pathogenic bacteria in mouth, digestive system or urinary tract. Most of the times, this infection happens in people with heart problems like the presence of prosthetic valves, history of previous endocarditis, some congenital heart defects and heart tra...
متن کاملInfective Endocarditis: Imaging to Improve Detection Rates
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the endocardium, but can involve any structure of the heart including prosthetic valves and implanted devices [1-4]. IE is a fatal disease with an in-hospital mortality rate up to 26% with half of patients having surgery during their hospital stay [1-4]. Echocardiography has played a key role in diagnosing IE, evaluating response to treatment, and ...
