Clinical profile and one-year outcomes of patients with mural infective endocarditis: - A tertiary care centre study based on data from a seven-year registry.

Infective endocarditis patients present very rarely with vegetations on the mural endocardium. Only very few studies are available comparing Mural infective endocarditis with commoner valvular or device related infective endocarditis.
