Role of Echocardiography in Infective Endocarditis • Diagnosis • Management
Modified Duke criteria for the diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis • MAJOR CRITERIA: • - Blood cultures positive for IE • - Echocardiography positive for IE: vegetation, abscess, new valvular regurgitation/ dehiscence of prosthetic valve • MINOR CRITERIA: • - Predisposing heart condition, IV drug abuse • - Fever (> 38°C) • - Vascular phenomena: arterial emboli, mycotic aneurysms, intracranial hemorrhage, … • - Immunologic phenomena: Osler’s nodes, Roth’s spots, … • - Bacteriological evidence: Positive blood culture but does not meet major criteria Li et al. Clin Infect Dis.2000; 30: 633-8
Clinical Suspicion of IE Trans-thoracic Echocardiography Prosthetic Valve Intracardiac device Poor quality TTE Positive TTE TTE Negative Clinical suspicion of IE High Low Transesophageal Echocardiography * Stop If initial TEE is negative but suspicion for IE remains, repeat TEE within 7-10 days Habib et al. ESC Guidelines. Eur Heart J.2009. Aug 27
Diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis by Echo: Difficulties are frequent… • Diagnosis of vegetation • Diagnosis of abscess • IE affecting intra-cardiac devices

Diagnostic value for detecting vegetations: TTE versus TEE - In 80 cases of endocarditis, sensitivity for the detection of vegetation was 58% for TTE versus 90% for TEE (p= 0.001). Mugge et al. J Am Coll Cardiol.1989; 14: 631-8 * P= NS : TTE versus TEE Monin et al. J Am Coll Cardiol.2005; 46: 302-9

Echocardiography (even Transesophageal) is not 100% sensitive • Very small (< 2 mm) vegetation • Non vegetant endocarditis • Prosthetic and pacemaker endocarditis • Mitral valve prolapse with thickened valves • Vegetation not yet present or already embolized A negative TEE does not rule out endocarditis If initial TEE is negative but suspicion for IE remains, repeat TEE within 7-10 days Habib et al. ESC Guidelines. Eur Heart J.2009. Aug 27

Abscess of the aortic root - Better assessed by TEE - Multiple views to assess abscess extension - Difficult diagnosis at the early stage of the disease - Need for frequent TEE controls if non operated Courtesy: Pr. C. Tribouilloy

Prosthetic valve endocarditis - Better assessed by TEE - Especially in the mitral position - Reverberations/ artifacts due to the prosthesis - Need for frequent TEE controls if non operated Postoperative D-45

Risk of systemic embolism according to Vegetation size (TEE) 178 patients, definite IE 30/43 10/24 % Embolic events 17/66 9/45 Di Salvo et al. J Am Coll Cardiol.2001; 37: 1069-76
Risk of systemic embolism under appropriate antibiotics • 384 patients with definite IE , European multicentre study • Embolic events: n= 131 (34%), of which 28 (7.3%) under therapy • Under therapy: 20 events (71.4%) during the first 15 days % New Embolic Events Thuny et al. Circulation.2005; 112: 69-75
Risk of systemic embolism under appropriate antibiotics • 629 cases of IE, 133 embolic events (21.1 %) • THE RISK OF EMBOLIC EVENTS: • Dramatically decreases after initiation of ATB • Remains high during the first 2 weeks of ATB • Is related to the size /mobility of the vegetations • May be reduced by early surgery ?

Isolated large vegetation > 15 mm: Urgent surgery is required (Class IIb)
Take-Home messages • Echocardiography plays a key role in the diagnosis and management of patients with infective endocarditis • Transesophageal echo is mandatory in the majority of patients • A negative TEE does not rule out endocarditis: repeat TEE after 7-10 days if suspicion if IE remains • Early indications for surgery (CHF, uncontrolled infection or prevention of embolism) are mainly based on echocardiography (TEE ++)
