What is the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis according to the new Duke criteria?
This review highlights the critical role of echocardiography, particularly transesophageal imaging, in diagnosing infective endocarditis and its integration into the Duke criteria.
Dodds et al. (1995) conducted a review in Infective endocarditis. Echocardiography was evaluated. Echocardiography, particularly transesophageal imaging, improves the detection of intracardiac manifestations of infective endocarditis and is incorporated into the new Duke diagnostic criteria.
