How are these Pathologies Diagnosed Histologically?
Diagnosis of cardiac pathologies through histology involves obtaining tissue samples via biopsy or during autopsy. These samples are then processed and stained, often using techniques such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, to highlight cellular and extracellular components. Special stains and immunohistochemistry may also be utilized to identify specific molecules or cells, such as amyloid in restrictive cardiomyopathy.
