Histological examination of the endocardium involves several techniques:
Light Microscopy: Used to identify the cell types and structure of the endocardium. Stains like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) are commonly used. Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of the cellular and subcellular components, including the endothelial cells and Purkinje fibers. Immunohistochemistry: Utilized to identify specific proteins and markers within the endocardial tissue, aiding in the diagnosis of diseases.
