Men's more frequent predisposing factors in infectious endocarditis facilitate improvement of outcomes by shortening of diagnostic delay
Men with suspected IE are younger, have more predisposing factors and experience a more complicated course of disease, while benefiting from early diagnosis. Therefore, recognizing the heightened risk profile specific to men during diagnosis can help to address their poorer prognosis.
