Myocardial Biopsy

Myocardial biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect small samples of heart muscle tissue for analysis. It helps doctors diagnose various heart conditions, such as inflammation, infections, or other diseases affecting the heart muscle. During the procedure, a thin, hollow needle is inserted into the heart through a vein, usually in the groin or neck, under imaging guidance. The samples are then examined under a microscope to provide crucial information about the heart's health. While it involves a minor risk, myocardial biopsy can be vital for determining the appropriate treatment for complex heart problems.
