Abstract

Between October 1974 and December 1985, 350 patients have been subjected to endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). Five of these subjects clinically presented restrictive cardiomyopathy symptoms. EMB revealed diffuse cardiac amyloidosis. Light-electron-microscopic and morphometric data have been reported. The role of EMB in the diagnosis of cardiac disease is also emphasized.
