E ndomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is a valuable method for diagnosing a range of cardiac conditions, but there is a risk of complications due to its invasive nature. Researchers have now found a way to ...

Heart biopsy tissue from a patient with COVID-19. New technologies can image the cellular landscape of heart tissue in detail. Heart cell boundaries are stained green, the cell nuclei in blue.

Coronary arteries were normal, and the myocardium showed no inflammatory infiltrate. Cardiac biopsy revealed a reduction in the number of nuclei, with loss of striation and occasional lipofuscin ...
