Diagnostic value of FDG PET/CT imaging in patients with surgically managed infective endocarditis: results of a retrospective analysis at a tertiary center

Sabine Julia Maria Sag et al.

Summary: This study assessed the diagnostic value of FDG PET/CT in surgically managed IE patients. Results showed that combining FDG PET/CT with Duke criteria can increase the diagnostic sensitivity in PVE patients, with patients having false-negative scans observed to have higher prosthesis age.

Dissecting the correlates of N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide in acute infective endocarditis

Lorenzo Bertolino et al.

Summary: This study examined the prognostic value and correlates of NT-proBNP in patients with acute infective endocarditis. The results showed that NT-proBNP is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and is closely associated with chronic kidney disease, prior chronic heart failure, and staphylococcal IE.

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether relevant comorbidities can improve the diagnostic accuracy of patients with IE. It was found that patients with IE had a higher frequency of positive blood cultures, embolic diseases, heart murmurs, and intensive care therapy.
