CONCLUSIONS
Nuclear imaging can improve the diagnostic performances of the Duke-Li score at admission in a selected population of patients with suspected CIED infection, particularly when the infection was initially graded as possible. Whenever possible, imaging should be performed before or early after antibiotic initiation.
