27 lut 2023 · How accurate is the measurement of vegetation size? Echocardiography, particularly transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), plays a key role in identifying those vegetations more prone to embolize.
26 sty 2023 · Infective endocarditis (IE) arises when an adherent platelet-fibrin nidus becomes secondarily infected and produces vegetations, which in turn may directly damage the endocardial tissue and/or valves. The pathogenesis of infective endocarditis will be reviewed here.
