heart biopsy (medicine)


heart biopsy -->
biopsy, heart
<investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of cardiac muscle tissue for microscopic analysis.

This is generally performed at the same time as a cardiac catheterisation or as a very similar, yet separate, procedure. A small piece of heart tissue is taken via a small forceps inserted into the cardiac catheter site (usually threaded through a vein in the neck).

This test may reveal the cause of a cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, amyloidosis or a heart transplant rejection.
