Integrated plasma and vegetation proteomic characterization of infective endocarditis for early diagnosis and treatment.

Nature communications
Infective endocarditis, a life-threatening condition, poses challenges for early diagnosis and personalized treatment due to insufficient biomarkers and limited understanding of its pathophysiology. Here, we performed proteomic profiling of plasma an...

Change of Heart: Can Artificial Intelligence Transform Infective Endocarditis Management?

Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland)
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising adjunct in the diagnosis and management of infective endocarditis (IE), a disease characterized by diagnostic complexity and significant morbidity. Machine learning (ML) models such as SABIER an...

Presurgery and postsurgery: advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning models for enhancing patient management in infective endocarditis.

International journal of surgery (London, England)
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe infection of the inner lining of the heart, known as the endocardium. It is characterized by a range of symptoms and has a complicated pattern of occurrence, leading to a significant number of deaths. IE poses ...

Using machine learning to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the modified Duke/ESC 2015 criteria in patients with suspected prosthetic valve endocarditis - a proof of concept study.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
INTRODUCTION: Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a serious complication of prosthetic valve implantation, with an estimated yearly incidence of at least 0.4-1.0%. The Duke criteria and subsequent modifications have been developed as a diagnostic ...

Streptococcus Gallolyticus endocarditis in patient with liver cirrhosis: a case report.

Journal of infection in developing countries
Streptococcus gallolyticus (S. gallolyticus) bacteremia is commonly associated with endocarditis and diseases of gastrointestinal tract, especially with colorectal carcinoma. On the other side, it is rarely connected to liver disease, especially alco...

Apolipoprotein A-I: A favorable prognostic marker in infective endocarditis.

Journal of clinical lipidology
BACKGROUND: Decreased apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are common in inflammation and sepsis. No study with a large sample size has been performed to investigate the prognostic value of apoA-I or HDL-C in i...

Incidence and Predictors of Postoperative Need for High-Dose Inotropic Support in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery for Infective Endocarditis.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: Patients with infective endocarditis undergoing cardiac surgery are a high-risk population. Few data on incidence and predictors of need for high-dose inotropic support in this setting are currently available.
