Abstract
Echocardiography has a vital role for diagnosing and monitoring infectious endocarditis. The recently published Swedish guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of infectious endocarditis recommend overuse of transoesophageal echocardiography, which is not supported by the literature. The European Society of Cardiology presents a considerably more appropriate opinion.
