This study aims to gather detailed information from 700 patients with infective endocarditis, a serious heart valve infection, to better understand the disease and its complications like strokes. Participants will be followed for up to 10 years so researchers can track long-term …

This study aims to understand how different patients with a serious heart infection (infective endocarditis) process common antibiotics. Researchers will collect blood samples from 150 patients in Sweden to measure drug levels and see how factors like age and kidney function affe…

This study is creating a national database to track 5,000 patients in France diagnosed with infective endocarditis, a serious infection of the heart's inner lining or valves. Researchers will collect detailed medical information to understand how the disease develops, what treatm…
