When echocardiography shows no vegetation on either valve, the finding supports that there is no vegetation detected on the valves examined. Vegetations are masses that can form on valve leaflets in infective endocarditis, and seeing none in both valves makes a vegetative process unlikely in the imaged areas. Keep in mind that imaging isn’t perfect—small vegetations can be missed, and transesophageal echocardiography is more sensitive than transthoracic echo. If clinical suspicion remains high, repeat imaging or additional diagnostic steps may be warranted.
