This is a research registry — a database that collects information from patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis, a serious infection of the heart valves. The study aims to understand how this condition affects different people, what imaging tests and treatments work best, and how doctors can improve care and outcomes. By joining, you help researchers learn more about this rare but life-threatening disease.
Heart valve infections are rare but serious, with death rates remaining between 15–30% even with modern treatment. This registry will help doctors understand why some patients do better than others, whether current guidelines are working, and how to improve diagnosis and care for future patients.

You will allow the research team to access and record information from your medical visits, hospital stays, imaging tests, and treatment at Barts Heart Centre or referring hospitals. This is an observational study, meaning doctors will monitor your care and collect data as you receive standard treatment — you won't need to do anything extra or take experimental medications. Your information will be added to a registry that helps doctors and researchers understand endocarditis better.
