A gentler approach to monitor for heart transplant rejection
Despite developments in circulating biomarker and imaging technology in the assessment of cardiovascular disease, the surveillance and diagnosis of heart transplant rejection has continued to rely on histopathologic interpretation of the endomyocardial ...

Technetium-99m pyrophosphate cardiac SPECT in endomyocardial biopsy negative cardiac amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is an under-appreciated cause of heart failure. Establishing a diagnosis is important because traditional heart failure treatment regimens can worsen left ventricular failure in this disease. Endomyocardial biopsy is the gold standard

Frequent occurrence of occult pulmonary embolism from venous sheaths during endomyocardial biopsy
To determine the frequency of occult right heart thromboembolism during endomyocardial biopsy, 51 cardiac transplant recipients undergoing routine endomyocardial biopsy were studied echocardiographically. Patients were randomized to two groups.

Endomyocardial biopsy in patients with acute myocarditis, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia [PDF]
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is useful for the diagnosis of myocarditis, cardiac sarcoidosis, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. In this mini-review, we discuss the diagnostic potential of EMB in cases of acute/chronic-active myocarditis, sarcoidosis ...
