  • Title: Endomyocardial biopsy study of cardiomyopathy in Poland.
    Author: Ruzyłło W, Rosnowski A.
    Journal: Heart Vessels Suppl; 1985; 1():71-6. PubMed ID: 3843594.
    Abstract:
    The results of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) are presented in 174 patients. Techniques and apparatus are described. EMB is safe and useful for diagnosing inflammatory myocarditis and as a guide to therapy. Unsuspected lymphocytic myocarditis was found in 17% of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The results confirm that the EMB findings in dilated cardiomyopathy are nonspecific and that restrictive cardiomyopathy is not confined to hypereosinophilic states and amyloid heart disease.
