Özet

Background: The use of prosthetic valves and intracardiac devices has steadily increased in recent years. In this group of patients with prosthetic valves or intracardiac devices, infective endocarditis could not be easily diagnosed, and in general, infective endocarditis can be missed in many patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of clinical, laboratory, and imaging parameters in a group of patients with pre-diagnosis of infective endocarditis.
