Endomyocardial biopsy has found wide application as a diagnostic tool in the practice of cardiology and is of great clinical use in selected cardiac disorders. It is indispensable in the management of cardiac transplant recipients and has become increasingly valuable in the diagnosis of myocarditis and certain cardiomyopathies. Technical difficulties have been overcome, and the procedure is straightforward and of low risk in experienced hands. It is hoped that advances in endomyocardial biopsy will lead to a greater ability of physicians to diagnose and treat cardiac disease.

心内膜心肌活检作为一种诊断工具在心脏病学实践中已得到广泛应用，在某些心脏疾病中具有重要的临床价值。它在心脏移植受者的管理中不可或缺，在心肌炎和某些心肌病的诊断中也变得越来越有价值。技术难题已被攻克，该操作简单直接，在经验丰富的医生手中风险较低。人们希望心内膜心肌活检的进展将使医生在诊断和治疗心脏病方面有更强的能力。
