Background Endomyocardial biopsy is the gold standard and has a definite role in the surveillance of cardiac allograft rejection. Its role in other cardiac diseases is limited. However, it is required for conclusive diagnosis of a few entities in which it can influence patient management. There is no reported data regarding the utility of endomyocardial biopsy in the Indian population. Thus, this study was undertaken in a tertiary care center in India to assess the utility of endomyocardial biopsy in various cardiac diseases in the context of clinical diagnoses. Methods All endomyocardial biopsies conducted over a 27-year period were evaluated. Clinical details including indication for biopsy were collected. Histopathological findings were recorded and classified as definitive diagnosis, probable diagnosis with features consistent with the clinical diagnosis, and nonspecific morphological findings. Results A total of 927 endomyocardial biopsies from 719 patients were reviewed. Endomyocardial biopsy was diagnostic in 12.5% of native cardiac biopsies and 52.1% showed nondiagnostic findings. The most frequent diagnoses were amyloidosis (58.7%) and myocarditis (8.6%). Endomyocardial biopsy had a diagnostic role in evaluation of restrictive cardiac diseases. Endomyocardial fibrosis and tubercular myocarditis, relatively more prevalent in the Indian population, were also identified. Cases of rheumatic heart disease, desmin cardiomyopathy, and microfibrillar cardiomyopathy were surprise findings, proving the usefulness of endomyocardial biopsy in detecting some rare cardiac conditions. Conclusion Endomyocardial biopsy is an important tool for the diagnosis of specific cardiac diseases including some rare entities, and for conditions which are more prevalent in our country, requiring biopsy confirmation.

Background: Thyroid disorders constitute the most prevalent endocrine disorder in our country. Thyroid disorders are classified broadly as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism depending on the functional capacity of the thyroid gland. These two entities are further segregated as sub clinical and overt dysfunction. The present study attempts to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid disorders in north Indian population which is more prone to hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency observed in the Himalayan belt. Materials and Methods: A total of 7474 patients presenting to the department of Biochemistry, G B Pant hospital, Delhi, were enrolled in the study. The patients were examined and asked to report after overnight fast for sample collection on a prescribed date. Thyroid hormone estimation was done with commercially available ELISA kits supplied by Cal biotech, USA. Statistical Analysis was done using Microsoft Office “Excel” with Windows 2007 Operating System and multiple comparisons were made using SPSS 12.0 statistical software package. Results: The majority of the patients (approximately 85%) were Euthyroid. Only 1.22% of the total number of referred patients turned out to be hyperthyroid. Hypothyroidism was more prevalent with the number of patients diagnosed with both sub clinical and overt hypothyroidism being 987 (13.2%). Conclusions: We have strived to provide a baseline orientation regarding the prevalence of thyroid disorders in the representative north Indian population in the post iodine fortification era.
