Infective endocarditis (IE) is an increasingly recognized condition with high morbidity. Patients with atypical symptoms, culture-negative infections, and prosthetic cardiac devices and implants represent challenging populations to evaluate and manage. Recent major society guidelines have recommended the appropriate incorporation of multimodality imaging in the evaluation of these more complex IE cases.

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition, and early diagnosis and management are critical. There is emerging evidence on the role of advanced imaging modalities including dedicated cardiac computed tomography (CCT), and F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET). The updated 2023 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines have emphasized increased utilization of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis and management of IE.

Introduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is an increasingly important condition with significant morbidity and mortality. With advancements in cardiovascular interventions including prosthetic valve implantation and utilization of intracardiac devices, the prevalence of IE is rising in the modern era. Early detection and management of this condition are critical.
