Zusammenfassung
Der Echokardiographie kommt im Rahmen der Diagnostik der infektiösen Endokarditis ein besonderer Stellenwert zu: Sie ist nach wie vor die einzige klinisch relevante Methode, die den direkten Nachweis von Vegetationen an den befallenen Herzklappen erlaubt (was früher ausschließlich der Chirurgie bzw. der Autopsie vorbehalten war), sie ermöglicht die frühzeitige Identifizierung von Komplikationen der Erkrankung (wie Abszeß- und Fistelbildungen), sie erlaubt eine Beurteilung der Ventrikelfunktion und (in Kombination mit dem Doppler) des Schweregrades des Klappenvitiums, und letztendlich lassen die echokardiographischen Befunde auch prognostische Rückschlüsse zu. Dabei vereint die präkordiale Echokardiographie in sich die Vorzüge der Nichtinvasivität, des Fehlens unerwünschter bzw. schädlicher Nebenwirkungen, der relativ schnellen Durchführbarkeit direkt am Krankenbett sowie einer guten Reproduzierbarkeit. Dies gilt mit bestimmten Einschränkungen auch für die Ösophagus-Echokardiographie, die insbesondere im Rahmen der Diagnostik der infektiösen Endokarditis in den letzten Jahren zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen hat und sich (obwohl es sich um eine semiinvasive Technik handelt) bei entsprechender Untersuchererfahrung durch eine hohe Praktikabilität und ein akzeptabel niedriges Risiko auszeichnet (27).
