Cardiac Computarized Tomography in Infective Endocarditis (cardiac CT)
This study is not yet open for participant recruitment.
Verified by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, October 2007
Sponsored by: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
Information provided by: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00550823
  Purpose

The diagnosis of infective endocarditis is based on the results of blood culture and findings on transeosophageal echocardiography. Cardiac computarized tomography is a new modality, mainly used for the imaging of coronary arteries. Its use in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis is not well known.The purpose of this study is to establish the use of cardiac CT in infective endocarditis.
