Summary
This study looked at whether adding a brain MRI and a check by a nerve specialist could help doctors make better treatment decisions for people with a serious heart infection called infectious endocarditis. The infection can cause silent strokes, and the goal was to see if finding these brain issues would change the care plan. 29 adults with confirmed endocarditis took part, and researchers tracked how often the extra tests led to changes in treatment.
