Abstract:
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare life-threatening entity that remains difficult to diagnose in the emergency department (ED). Focused cardiac ultrasound (FOCUS) with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is an indispensable bedside tool for the emergency physician (EP) to promptly diagnosis and expedite clinical management of IE. This report describes a case in which EP-performed FOCUS led to the early identification of right-sided tricuspid valve IE complicated with septic pulmonary emboli.
