Collecting data from adults with heart valve infection
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects information about adults who are treated in Amsterdam UMC for infective endocarditis (a serious infection of the heart valves). The goal is to better understand this condition—especially for people undergoing heart valve surgery—by comparing them to similar surgery patients who do not have an infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at clinical symptoms and test findings to better understand heart valve infection (endocarditis) in adults. It may help doctors recognize the condition sooner and interpret echocardiography results more accurately.
This is an observational study that follows people with confirmed infective endocarditis (a serious infection of the heart lining or heart valves). It may help doctors better understand the illness and improve care.
This study collects blood samples and medical information from patients with certain bloodstream infections to better understand why some develop a heart valve infection. The goal is to find out why some people get this complication and how to predict it.
This study collects information from people who have surgery for an infection in their heart (endocarditis). By looking at many patients across Europe, doctors hope to learn better ways to treat this condition.
This study looks at the types of bacteria living on heart valves removed during surgery. Researchers want to learn more about these bacteria to better understand heart valve health and infections.
