Comprehensive Assessment of the Risk of Symptomatic Embolism in Patients With Infective Endocarditis

Journal of the American Heart Association

Although several studies have noted a link between larger vegetations and an increased risk of embolization, a more comprehensive evaluation of vegetation characteristics in a contemporary cohort has not been conducted. In total, 234 patients had a symptomatic embolic event, a 30day cumulative incidence of 30.2%. years, and 89.3%
