Why the study?
Does electron microscopic scoring of right ventricular biopsies correlate with hemodynamic variables and prognosis in patients with myocardial hypertrophy or cardiomyopathy?
Does electron microscopic scoring of right ventricular biopsies correlate with hemodynamic variables and prognosis in patients with myocardial hypertrophy or cardiomyopathy?
Electron microscopic morphologic changes in right ventricular biopsies do not reliably correlate with functional status or prognosis in patients with hypertrophy or cardiomyopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
EM biopsy scores lack reliable prognostic value in cardiomyopathy; leaves open their role in routine evaluation.
Baandrup et al. (1981) studied this question.
