Overview
Findings on cardiac MRI suggestive of infective endocarditis include valvular vegetations, valvular and perivalvular damage, and vascular endothelial involvement.
MRI
Findings on cardiac MRI suggestive of infective endocarditis include:[1]
- Valvular vegetations
- Enhancement of the vegetations and abscess both is an indication of cardiac endothelial inflammation
- Valvular and perivalvular damage
- Vascular endothelial involvement
- Can detect small ischemic lesions in the brain that can lead to neurologic complications
- MRI helps in quantification of regurgitation fraction
- MRI also helpful in decision-making which involves in:[2]
