Echocardiography in Bacterial Endocarditis

New England Journal of Medicine, 1976
We examined 129 standard M-mode echocardiograms obtained in 65 patients (16 to 73 years old) with bacterial endocarditis. Twenty of the 22 patients with vegetations recognizable by echocargiography died, or underwent cardiac operation (mean interval from admission 22 days, and range two to 120 days).

Mimics of bacterial endocarditis

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1970
Abstract Four patients with conditions that mimicked active bacterial endocarditis of the mitral valve are described. The cases were obtained from a series of 130 mitral valve operations performed at the National Heart Hospital, London, in a 3 year period. The conditions were (1) thickening of the mitral valve with degeneration of the cusps; (2) left
