Abstract:
Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of ultrasonic cardiogram in vegetation of 37 cases of infective endocarditis. Methods Ultrasonic cardiogram (including transesophageal echocardiography) was applied to observe the form, size, echo, distribution and valvular functions of valvular vegetation. Results The number of attached sites was the most in aortic valve group of 13 cases by ultrasonic cardiogram, and the second most was in mitral valve of 12 cas-es. The size (the biggest 1.0 cmí2.1 cm and the smallest 0.2 cmí0.2 cm), form and the mode of activity of the vegeta-tion, or characteristics of perforation of cardiac valve and rupture of chordae tendinca as well as haemodynamic changes were evaluated, and systolic and diastolic functions were measured. Conclusion Ultrasonic cardiogram is of great signif-icance in the diagnosis and location of vegetation of infective endocarditis, treatment decision-making and prognosis judgment.
