Why the study?
What are the ultrastructural characteristics of different cardiomyopathies and cardiac hypertrophy on left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy?
What are the ultrastructural characteristics of different cardiomyopathies and cardiac hypertrophy on left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy?
Electron microscopy of left ventricular endomyocardial biopsies can identify specific ultrastructural features in certain cardiomyopathies, but cannot differentiate between normal and impaired ventricular function in hypertrophy due to aortic valve disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May guide cardiomyopathy subtyping on endomyocardial biopsy; leaves open its role in aortic valve disease hypertrophy.
Davies et al. (1977) studied this question.
