https://doi.org/10.15829/1560-4071-2016-1-73-79

Abstract

Literary review focuses on the role of endomyocardial biopsy in diagnostics of inflammatory diseases of myocardium. The article discusses indications for biopsy, its informativity, and diagnostical value; the list of possible complications is provided, the clear algorithm defined for histological, histochemical, immunehistochemical investigation of the specimens with differential diagnosis of the pathological findings. The review provides with the analysis of molecular-biological methods, that are in use for verification of myocarditis etiology, recent morphological criteria provided for different types of the disease.
