Abstract
- AIM Integration of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in the diagnostic workup of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is under-recognized in current clinical practice, since capturing focal granulomas is challenging. Our aim was to describe our experience with electro-anatomic mapping (EAM)-guided EMB and provide a comprehensive review of the literature. METHODS AND RESULTS Five patients (age 49.4 ± 11.4) with suspected CS underwent EAM-guided EMB in Isala Heart Center (Zwolle, the Netherlands) between 2017 and 2019. In all patients, a 3D bipolar voltage map (
