Active clinical trials for "Myocarditis"

This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with rest perfusion imaging for the diagnosis of myocarditis. Patients with clinical suspicion of myocarditis will be recruited and undergo a rest myocardial perfusion scan and a FDG PET/CT scan following a myocardial suppression protocol.

Acute myocarditis is a serious illness affecting a young population with a very variable course (of full recovery at the onset of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), or even sudden death). Very few studies have examined the predictors of death and serious cardiovascular events in acute myocarditis and have carried on numbers of restricted patients. What little data results in a lack of a precise recommendation on the management and the follow-up period of patients. This observational study should identify serious prognostic factor for cardiovascular events in order to provide a support strategy and more appropriate monitoring of myocarditis.

The study will analyze the prevalence of cardiac involvement of health care workers from the University Hospital of Salamanca (HUSA) who have overcome SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants will undergo a clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram (EKG), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and blood analysis including NT-proBNP, troponin, cellular and humoral immunity and genetics.

In this study, the investigators analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with acute myocarditis in South Korea

Depersonalized multi-centered registry initiated to analyze dynamics of non-infectious diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection in population of Eurasian adult patients.

Myocardial injury, as assessed by elevation of cardiac troponins (Tnc), is frequent among patients with COVID-19. Although rare autopsy cases reported COVID-19 related myocardial inflammation, the origin of Tnc elevation is unknown to date. Several cardiac causes, such as myocarditis, non-ischemic myocardial injury (NIMI), or myocardial infarction (MI) may lead to Tnc kinetic. Our work will test the hypothesis that during SARS-Cov2 infection, the elevation of cardiac biomarkers could be linked to the occurrence of myocarditis.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate ECG findings of patients with acute myocarditis, ECG findings associated with fulminant myocarditis, and the characteristics of ST-elevation on admission.

The investigators performed a retrospective, single-center observational study, and the participants with acute fulminant myocarditis were included.Then, the investigator analyzed the risk factors of in-hospital death in these participants with acute fulminant myocarditis.

The purpose of this study is the assess the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging in patients with suspected myocarditis by applying different imaging sequences at different MR scanners

The wearable cardiac defibrillator (WCD) is an alternative to the implantation of cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death (mostly bridging therapy). The Cologne register of wearable defibrillator (CRWD) is a prospective register for all patient with an indication of wearable defibrillator.
