Overview
Skeletal Biopsy
A skeletal biopsy can be performed which may demonstrate inclusion bodies or myopathic changes [1].
Cardiac Biopsy
- Interstitial fibrosis was observed in 5/5 patients who underwent right ventricular biopsy
- Endomyocardial thickening and subendocardial fibroelastosis was observed in 3/5 patients who underwent right ventricular biopsy
