Diagnostic value of transesophageal echocardiography for right-sided endocarditis varies by risk profile; leaves open tailored imaging protocols in these subgroups.
What is the diagnostic value of transesophageal echocardiography in different subsets of patients with right-sided endocarditis?
This review highlights that the diagnostic utility of transesophageal echocardiography for right-sided endocarditis depends heavily on the underlying patient risk profile.
Román et al. (1995) conducted a review in Right-sided endocarditis. Transesophageal echocardiography was evaluated. Transesophageal echocardiography's diagnostic value in right-sided endocarditis varies depending on whether patients are intravenous drug abusers, have pacemakers, or have congenital heart diseases.
