🩺 Excited to share our latest publication! 📘 Our case report on Non-bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis (NBTE) has just been published in the renowned BMJ Case Reports 🔍This case underscores the importance of considering NBTE in patients who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis, and highlights the need for improved tools to differentiate between infectious and non-infectious endocarditis. 🧠 Recognising NBTE as a paraneoplastic syndrome may facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment of associated malignancies—potentially improving overall prognosis. 📄 Read the full case here: https://lnkd.in/ePBMQDeu 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to my mentor (Tommaso Guffi), co-authors (Stjepan Jurisic, Matthias Nägele) and to the team in Internal Medicine 🩻, Cardiology USZ ❤️, and Oncology 🎗️ at the Universitätsspital Zürich for the excellent interdisciplinary collaboration that made this case possible. 💬 If you're interested in cancer-related diseases, thromboembolic complications, or diagnostic challenges, I’d love to hear your thoughts! #CaseReport #BMJCaseReports #MedicalEducation #Cardiology #InternalMedicine #Oncology #NBTE #USZ #UniversityHospitalZurich
