NCT ID NCT02252900

First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study followed 100 people who had a serious heart infection (infectious endocarditis) to see how brain lesions found during the infection changed over time. Researchers used MRI scans and thinking tests to compare results from the acute phase and later follow-up. The goal was to understand the long-term brain effects, not to test a new treatment.
