Abstract
In order to study the clinical significance of endomyocardial catheter biopsy (EMCB) systematic investigations were performed in patients with different heart disease. Clinical, hemodynamic and angiographic data were correlated to the morphological findings. Furthermore 58 patients with congestive cardiomyopathy (CCM) in whom EMCB was done, were studied prospectively.
