The sensitivity of TTE in detecting vegetations upon native valves is about 70. To improve patients prognosis by implementation of current diagnostic and therapeutic evidence the European Society of Cardiology published an updated version of the guidelines for management of infective endocarditis in 2015.
The new guidelines propose new diagnostic criteria that consider the potentiality on integrated multimodality imaging.
Infective endocarditis echocardiography guidelines. Echocardiography plays a key role in the assessment of infective endocarditis IE. It is useful for the diagnosis of endocarditis the assessment of the severity of the disease the prediction of short- and long-term prognosis the prediction of embolic events and the follow-up of patients. Infective endocarditis IE is a rare disease with a significant impact and an increasing mortality despite earlier diagnosis and surgical intervention.
It is related to several and the main etiological agents are the Gram-positive cocci. The new guidelines propose new diagnostic criteria that consider the potentiality on integrated multimodality imaging. Infective Endocarditis Guidelines on Prevention Diagnosis and Treatment of ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines Topics.

The clinical diagnosis of infective endocarditis IE is based upon a combination of features such as positive blood cultures echocardiographic findings and other clinical or laboratory criteria table 1A-B as specified in the modified Duke criteria 1. For cardiac devicerelated IE related infective endocarditis 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographyCT is very specific when tracer uptake is visualized only if applied late after implantation but its sensitivity is very low163 in the European Society of CardiologyEURObservational Research Programme EuroEndo Registry. Infective endocarditis is a potentially lethal disease that has undergone major changes in both host and pathogen.
The epidemiology of infective endocarditis has become more complex with todays myriad healthcare associated factors that predispose to infection. Moreover changes in pathogen prevalencein particular a more common staphylococcal origin have affected outcomes. Echocardiography should be performed in all patients in whom ICED-LI or ICED-IE infection is suspected clinically according to Section 51.
Echocardiography should be undertaken in patients with an ICED and S. Aureus in one or more blood cultures or other microorganisms in multiple blood cultures. ValvularHeart Disease Guidelines JACC 2014 Modified Duke Criteria Definite infective endocarditis Clinical Criteria 2 Major criteria or 1 Major criterion and 3 minor criteria or 5 Minor criteria Major criteria Blood culture positive Typical microorganism for IE multiple variations.
2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of infective endocarditis UNCLASSIFIED PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP 2016 Sensitivity 75 for TTE vs 85- 90 for TEE - resolution is greater In nearly all cases TEE should be done TEE is essential for prosthetic valves TTE yields better information on valve function and hemodynamics. The sensitivity of TTE in detecting vegetations upon native valves is about 70. 5 This is reduced to 50 in patients with prosthetic valves and is lower in patients with implanted electronic devices.
515 Where TTE is non-confirmatory and the microbiology is clinically suggestive of IE a repeat TTE may be appropriate at an interval of 57 days. 16 Transoesophageal echocardiography TOE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of transthoracic echocardiography for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis IE to provide a basis for the better treatment of IE.
From October 2016 to October 2018 87 consecutive patients with IE at our hospital were selected for this study. Mortality rate is still approximately 20. To improve patients prognosis by implementation of current diagnostic and therapeutic evidence the European Society of Cardiology published an updated version of the guidelines for management of infective endocarditis in 2015.
It strengthens the role of imaging modalities like PETCT for detection of infectious foci when echocardiography remains negative and highlights the use of modern tests for identification of possible pathogens. Background Echocardiography echo is the primary imaging modality for infective endocarditis IE. However the recommendations on timing and mode selection for transesophageal echocardiography TEE and transthoracic echocardiography TTE vary across guidelines which can be confusing for clinical decision makers.
Echocardiography is suboptimal to obtain further information on the size site or mobility of vegetations abscess or fistula formation or valve perforation etc. TOE should be performed in all patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis PVE. Patients at moderate-risk or high-risk of endocarditis should be given antibiotic.
And therapeutic aspects of infective endocarditis IE we have now included sections on clinical diagnosis echocardiography and surgery. The guidelines include native valve endocarditis NVE and prosthetic valve endocarditis PVE. For the purposes of these guidelines PVE includes prosthetic valves of.
