Clinical value of endomyocardial biopsy.

Principles of right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy technique and the authors' experiences with application of this method in 127 patients with different cardiopathies are presented, and the main spheres of the application of this method in clinical cardiology are specified. Its contribution to clinical diagnosis of cardiopathies can according to its importance be arranged in the following order: diagnosis of rejection reaction of a transplanted heart and evaluation of the efficiency of anti-rejection treatment; diagnosis of diffuse specific diseases of cardiac tissue, and as yet not fully clarified diagnostic contribution in cardiomyopathies and other heart diseases.

[Endomyocardial biopsy].

Endomyocardial samples from the right ventricle of 100 patients were taken by a Stanford University technique but only 93 of them were good for histology. Samples came from cardiomyopathy (29 patients) and other clinical diagnoses (64 patients). Cardiomyopathy could be proved (3,4%) or conceded (58,6% by histology. In the group of other clinical diagnoses histopathological myocardial finding was not characteristical (53%) or was normal (47%) Light-optical endomyocardial biopsy seems to be a facultative approach of poor effect in cardiomyopathy. We are of the opinion that a more complex examination could ensure better diagnostic conclusions.
