Diagnostic Yield of Updated Indications for Endomyocardial Biopsy and Its Clinical Predictors in a Chinese Cohort
Our results partially support the restrictive settings. EMB can achieve higher yield for unexplained RCM/HCM with suspected infiltrative or storage disorder, as well as strictly defined clinically suspected myocarditis, even in hemodynamically stable patients. However, the restrictive settings of unexplained AVB/VA and dilated cardiomyopathy did not show a clear advantage in diagnostic yield. The predictors this study found may help clinicians in selecting adequate candidates.
