Indirect pathological indicators for cardiac sarcoidosis on endomyocardial biopsy [PDF]

Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2020
Background The definitive pathologic diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis requires observation of a granuloma in the myocardial tissue. It is common, however, to receive a “negative” report for a clinically probable case. We would like to advise pathologists

Return to work in heart failure patients with suspected viral myocarditis

SAGE Open Medicine, 2017
Background: Endomyocardial biopsy is considered as the gold standard in patients with suspected myocarditis. We aimed to evaluate the impact of bioptic findings on prediction of successful return to work.

CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE MYOCARDITIS: A CLINICAL CASE AND A REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Вестник рентгенологии и радиологии, 2016
The clinical manifestations of myocarditis are extremely variable and it may commonly manifest as acute myocardial infarction. The diagnosis of acute myocarditis is frequently empiric and substantiated by the clinical picture of the disease, ECG changes,

Comparison of Ventricular Inducibility with Late Gadolinium Enhancement and Myocardial Inflammation in Endomyocardial Biopsy in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Risk stratification of patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy remains a matter of debate in the era of device implantation.We investigated associations between histopathological findings, contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI and the inducibility of ...

Endomyocardial biopsy using the brachial venous access route. Description of the technique and 12-year experience at 2 different centers

REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2020
Introduction and objectives: Recipients of a heart transplant need to receive serial endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) to discard rejection, a procedure that is usually performed through the femoral or jugular vein. Over the last few years, we have developed

Targeted treatment in viral‐associated inflammatory cardiomyopathy

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Detection of viruses like HHV‐6 in endomyocardial biopsy or serum serology of patients with myocarditis or heart failure features unresponsive to conventional heart failure therapies could be a potential targeted treatment especially in refractory cases.

Senile Systemic Amyloidosis: Clinical Features at Presentation and Outcome [PDF]

, 2013
Background Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease whose prognosis and treatment rely on identification of the amyloid type. In our aging population transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is common and must be differentiated from other amyloid types.
