TODO - Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is an invasive procedure, globally most
often used for the monitoring of heart transplant rejection. In
addition, EMB can have an important complementary role to the clinical
assessment in establishing the diagnosis of diverse cardiac disorders,
including myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, drug-related cardiotoxicity,
amyloidosis, other infiltrative and storage disorders, and cardiac
tumors. Improvements in EMB equipment and the development of new
techniques for the analysis of EMB samples has significantly improved
the diagnostic precision of EMB. The present document is the result of
the Trilateral Cooperation Project between the Heart Failure Association
of the European Society of Cardiology, Heart Failure Society of America,
and the Japanese Heart Failure Society. It represents an expert
consensus aiming to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date perspective on
EMB, with a focus on the following main issues: (1) an overview of the
practical approach to EMB, (2) an update on indications for EMB, (3) a
revised plan for heart transplant rejection surveillance, (4) the impact
of multimodality imaging on EMB, and (5) the current clinical practice
in the worldwide use of EMB.
