“…5 The ESC guideline states that FDG PET/CT may help reduce the number of misdiagnosed infective endocarditis classified in the ''possible'' category of the modified Duke criteria, and may help visualize peripheral emboli and metastatic infective events. 6 On the other hand, the AHA guideline states that more studies are needed to determine the roles of FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis and management of patients with infective endocarditis.…”

“…However, despite attempts to standardize the practice in IE, the lack of powered randomized clinical evidence and the changing scenario of this daunting disease prompted over the course of the years new studies and updates of both the European and American Society's guidelines for the management of IE (8).…”

“…When analyzing the current guidelines that regulate the treatment of this condition from both European Society of Cardiology (ESC) (9) and the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) (3) it is possible to notice some aspects of non-univocal consensus regarding the diagnostics and treatment of the disease. A comparison focusing on the role of imaging in the evaluation and management of IE has been recently published (8).…”

Infective endocarditis (IE) represented over the last year a growing medical and surgical concern.The changes in etiology and demographic of the disease, which now includes also a large proportion of iatrogenic conditions, has prompted new studies and updates in the guideline for IE treatment. The increasing use of intravascular and intracardiac devices has introduced new challenges in terms of both antibiotic resistance and surgical treatment of prosthetic endocarditis. Also, patients with complex congenital heart diseases, intravenous drug abusers and patients with chronic renal failure under hemodialysis have been added to the list of high-risk subjects for IE. Important aspects concerning the establishment of the endocarditis team, the clinical management, the optimal medical therapy and the indication and timing for surgery are arguments of debate and controversy across the literature. In particular, the most adequate strategy to be adopted in the context of concomitant neurological complication remains greatly debated.Despite attempts to standardize the practice in IE, the lack of powered randomized clinical evidence prevented the achievement of a univocal consensus in several aspects of the management of IE. This situation reflects in some differences in the recommendation promoted by the European Society of Cardiology and American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology. In this review, we will compare the European Society of Cardiology and the American Heart Association guidelines and discuss important aspects related to clinical management and indications of for treatment.

“…2,3 As highlighted in the review by Murphy et al, TEE is needed in most patients with high clinical suspicion of endocarditis and in the presence of initially positive TTE. [1][2][3] The European guideline also specifically recommend TEE always in the presence of suspected prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) due to its better sensitivity and specificity in this setting compared with TTE. 2 The echocardiographic findings of IE include vegetation, perivalvular abscess, perivalvular pseudoaneurysm or intracardiac fistula, valvular perforation or valvular aneurysm, and a new dehiscence of a prosthetic valve.…”
