DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2190
Abstract: Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is an invasive procedure, globally most often used for the monitoring of heart transplant (HTx) rejection. In addition, EMB can have an important complementary role to the clinical assessment in establishing the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2020.09.125
Abstract: Introduction Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is routinely performed for surveillance of allograft rejection following heart transplantation (HTx). HTx recipients who are on anticoagulation are at higher risk for complications such as bleeding at access site, pericardial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/europace/euad122.659
Abstract: Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Cardiac amyloidoses (CA) are an increasingly recognized group of infiltrative cardiomyopathies associated with high risk of heart failure, thromboembolic events, arrhythmias, and sudden death. Endomyocardial biopsy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/01.tp.0000543880.81137.1b
Abstract: Introduction The most important causes of mortality and morbidity after cardiac transplantation are cellular and humoral rejections. They need to be diagnosed early and treated appropriately. Although different methods for recognizing rejections after heart transplantation… read more here.

Elective and non‐elective endomyocardial biopsy in heart transplant patients and procedural outcomes: An IMPACT registry analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Pediatric Transplantation"
DOI: 10.1111/petr.14482
Abstract: Endomyocardial biopsies are standard of care for transplant surveillance, however the procedural risks are not well established, especially in children. The purpose of the study was therefore to assess procedural risks and outcomes associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2022-252327
Abstract: Hydroxychloroquine is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug used for various rheumatological conditions. Its long-term use is well-known to have toxic effects on cardiac muscle cells. We present a biopsy-proven case of hydroxychloroquine-induced cardiotoxicity with detailed histopathological… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.993024
Abstract: Due to its low incidence, isolated cardiac sarcoidosis (ICS) is often missed or misdiagnosed. Herein, we describe a case of ICS in a 52-year-old male patient. Advanced imaging, including cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and fluorine-18… read more here.
