Cardiac Catheterization |
- Evaluate pulmonary artery pressure (especially with restrictive CM)
- Rule out a coronary anomaly
- Consider an endomyocardial biopsy (EMB)
- Class 1 indications for EMB
- New onset HF (< 2 weeks) with a normal-sized or dilated LV and hemodynamic compromise
- New onset HF (2 weeks – 3 months duration) associated with a dilated LV and new ventricular arrhythmias, second- or third-degree heart block, or failure to respond to usual care within 1 to 2 weeks
|
MRI |
- Consider to further delineate the etiology of heart failure (e.g. myocarditis) and better characterize the myocardium for inflammation and fibrosis.
