Cardiac amyloidosis: five cases diagnosed by endomyocardial biopsy
Applied Pathology
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
Between October 1974 and December 1985, 350 patients have been subjected to endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). Five of these subjects clinically presented restrictive cardiomyopathy symptoms. EMB revealed diffuse cardiac amyloidosis. Light-electron-microscopic and morphometric data have been reported. The role of EMB in the diagnosis of cardiac disease is also emphasized.
