[Echocardiography and trivalvular infectious endocarditis in a heart without apparent previous cardiopathy].
The echocardiographic findings in a patient with infective endocarditis are reported. There was involvement the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves. The heart had no previous valvular disease. The M-Mode and two dimensional studies, showed presence of vegetations in the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves. We consider that the echocardiogram allows the detection of endocarditis in its early stage.
