Does Left Ventricular Endomyocardial Biopsy (LVEMB) improve diagnostic contribution and maintain safety compared to Right Ventricular Endomyocardial Biopsy (RVEMB) in patients with cardiomyopathies and clinically preserved RV?
Patients with cardiomyopathies and clinically preserved right ventricle (RV)
Left Ventricular Endomyocardial Biopsy (LVEMB)
Right Ventricular Endomyocardial Biopsy (RVEMB)
Safety (transient complications) and diagnostic contributionsafety
LVEMB is a safe and diagnostically superior alternative to RVEMB in cardiomyopathy patients with preserved right ventricular function.
LVEMB is a safe procedure with very low transient complications, comparable to RVEMB. It appears diagnostically more contributive than RVEMB in patients with cardiomyopathies and clinically preserved RV.
