Core Tip |
Embolic events occur in up to 80% of patients with infective endocarditis (IE). Vegetations of > 10 mm in size are associated with increased embolic events and poor prognosis. In this retrospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with IE were recruited over 2 years. 34% of these had multiple vegetations. Echocardiographic features of moderate to severe regurgitation, presence of pacemaker lead, impaired left ventricle relaxation, and elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure were associated with higher odds of multiple vegetation and outcomes including recurrent admissions and device removal were found to be associated with multiple vegetations. |
