Abstract
SPE is a rare disorder that may be easily missed but carries a high mortality rate. Additionally, the presence of the embolic phenomena makes the diagnosis of infectious endocarditis more attainable in the emergency department (ED). To our knowledge, this case is the first in which ED bedside ultrasound was used to make the diagnosis of SPE due to infectious endocarditis.
