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].
