Clinical Predictors of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device‐Related Infective Endocarditis

Abstract

Certain comorbid conditions and systemic manifestations of infection were associated with CIED-IE. In contrast, pocket site infection was negatively associated with CIED-IE. These findings should assist clinicians in identifying patients who would more likely benefit from further investigation of CIED-IE with transesophageal echocardiography.
