1. An instrument (Bioptome) developed for the purpose of performing intracardiac biopsies of the endocardium and myocardium is described. The technic for the excision of cardiac tissues by the use of this instrument as developed in our laboratory is outlined.

2. A preliminary report of our experiences and results in the use of this technic in a study of a small group of 15 patients with clinical features of primary myocardial diseases or other abnormal clinical findings is reported.

3. From a continuation of similar studies, it is hoped that a useful and safe diagnostic procedure will be established for the determination of histologic changes and etiologic background in primary endocardial and myocardial diseases.
