| Abstract |
This case describes an unusual presentation of prosthetic valve endocarditis: an acute coronary syndrome. A 67-year-old gentleman presented with cardiac sounding chest pain on a background of a short history of night sweats, weight loss and general malaise. Four months previously he had undergone bio-prosthetic aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis and single vessel bypass grafting of the obtuse marginal. Whilst having chest pain his ECG showed infero-lateral ST depression. Early coronary angiography revealed a new right coronary artery lesion that was not present prior to his cardiac surgery. Using multi-modality cardiac imaging the diagnosis of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) was made. An aortic root abscess was demonstrated that was causing external compression of the right coronary artery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 June 2018.
All research outputs
#3,309,053
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Echo Research & Practice
#83
of 268 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,064
of 342,877 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Echo Research & Practice
#4
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 268 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,877 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
