Heart Biopsy Treatment
Steps 2 Cure collaborates with top cardiologists worldwide to provide advanced medical services. One of the procedures offered is a Cardiac Biopsy, which involves obtaining small samples of heart muscle for microscopic examination. This procedure is frequently performed after a heart transplant to detect signs of rejection in the transplanted heart. Additionally, it can be employed to investigate the underlying cause of new-onset heart failure or to identify specific heart muscle issues when other diagnostic tests are inconclusive. Typically, this is performed as a day procedure.
Symptoms
If you experience any of the following issues:
Cardiomyopathy: Weakening of the heart muscle, often due to various underlying conditions.
Myocarditis: Inflammation in the heart muscle.
Rejection following a heart transplant: Your immune system causes tissue damage that can be detected through microscopic examination by your doctor.
When to access Medical Care
If you have any doubts about the functioning of your heart, undergoing a biopsy can provide valuable insights. Understanding how the heart works is crucial, and anyone dealing with a cardiac issue may consider a biopsy procedure. Your doctor may recommend a heart biopsy if you are facing any of the following problems:
- ATTR (transthyretin) amyloidosis
- Cardiomyopathy, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Cardiotoxicity from chemotherapy
- Heart cancer
- Heart failure
- Heart infections like myocarditis
- Sarcoidosis
Determinants of risk
Serious complications from heart biopsies are rare, occurring in less than 1% of cases. These complications may include:
- Arrhythmia
- Blood clots, such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or stroke
- Blood vessel damage or perforation
- Collapsed lung
- Hemothorax
- Nerve damage
- Pericardial effusion
- Right bundle branch block
- Tricuspid valve regurgitation
- Infection or internal bleeding at the biopsy site
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
