There have also been changes in diagnostic techniques. Although transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography are still the most commonly used imaging modalities, other techniques, such as 3-dimensional transesophageal ultrasound, cardiac computed tomography, and nuclear medicine tests (PET/CT and SPECT/CT), are increasingly used for diagnosing both the disease and its complications. In recent years, there have also been significant developments in antibiotic therapy. Currently, several treatment strategies are available to shorten the hospital phase of the disease in selected patients, which can reduce the complications associated with hospitalization, improve the quality of life of patients and their families, and reduce the health care costs of the disease.
