Why the study?
Does early endomyocardial biopsy yield useful histological information on the response to treatment in a patient with acute myocarditis?
Does early endomyocardial biopsy yield useful histological information on the response to treatment in a patient with acute myocarditis?
Early endomyocardial biopsy within one week of diagnosis can provide useful histological information on treatment response in acute myocarditis, demonstrating that clinical recovery may precede complete histological resolution.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support early biopsy to monitor treatment response in acute myocarditis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Keogh et al. (1990) studied this question.
