Targeted endomyocardial biopsy guided by real-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Abstract Background Endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) are an important diagnostic tool for myocarditis and other infiltrative cardiac diseases. Routinely, biopsies are obtained under fluoroscopic guidance with a substantial radiation burden. Despite procedural success, there is a large sampling error ca...
