Key result
Infective endocarditis carries 15-30% in-hospital mortality, requiring early echo and tailored antibiotic and surgical interventions.
Why the study?
Infective endocarditis is complex and associated with high mortality, with evolving epidemiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies requiring early detection and coordinated care.
A multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, infectious disease specialists, and surgeons is essential for the optimal care of infective endocarditis.

Multimodality imaging aids IE detection amid nonspecific symptoms; leaves open comparative trials to refine diagnostic sequencing.
Skrzypek et al. (2026) conducted a review in Infective Endocarditis. Infective endocarditis carries an in-hospital mortality rate of 15-30% and requires early diagnosis with echocardiography alongside tailored antibiotic and surgical interventions.
