==Overview==
Endomyocardial [[biopsy]] has low sensitivy and the findings are also notoriously non-specific.  The findings on biopsy usually involve findings of [[inflammation]] and specific [[pathogens]] are unlikely to be identified.  There may be an increased yield to using MRI to target endomyocardial biopsy.  Viral titiers (serologies) are often unhelpful and not routinely ordered in clinical practice.

Overview

Endomyocardial biopsy has low sensitivy and the findings are also notoriously non-specific. The findings on biopsy usually involve findings of inflammation and specific pathogens are unlikely to be identified. There may be an increased yield to using MRI to target endomyocardial biopsy. Viral titiers (serologies) are often unhelpful and not routinely ordered in clinical practice.
