Background Infective endocarditis (IE) continues to be associated with great challenges.
Embolic events (EE) are frequent and life‐threatening complications in IE patients. It remains …

Objectives Prediction of embolic events (EEs) in infective endocarditis (IE) could inform
clinical decisions, such as surgical timing. We conducted a systematic review to more …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a simple calculator to quantify
the embolic risk (ER) at admission of patients with infective endocarditis. Background: Early …

Background—The incidence of embolic events (EE) and death is still high in patients with
infective endocarditis (IE), and data about predictors of these 2 major complications are …

Background Embolic events are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with
infective endocarditis. We analyzed the database of the prospective cohort study SEI in …

Data about predictors of embolism in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) are conflicting.
This study aimed to investigate clinical and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) …

Embolic events are a frequent and life-threatening complication of subacute bacterial
endocarditis (SBE) and are associated with a high mortality and morbidity. The prediction of …

Aims In infective endocarditis, the true incidence of embolic events and metastatic infections
remains unknown probably because a large number of events are asymptomatic. The …

Background: Embolic complications of infective endocarditis are common. The impact of
asymptomatic embolism is uncertain. Objectives: To determine the frequency of emboli due …

BACKGROUND: Infective endocarditis often is complicated by embolic events after hospital
admission. Identifying patients at higher risk may improve the disease outcome. This study …
