Biopsy-guided treatment for suspected inflammation of the heart
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at people 18 and older with suspected myocarditis (inflammation of the heart). It uses an inner-heart biopsy and tailored treatment based on the likely cause to improve diagnosis and care, especially for people with different heart rhythm or non-rhythm symptoms.

This study looks at using heart biopsies to find the cause of heart inflammation (myocarditis) in children and then tailoring treatment to that cause. It aims to improve care for children with or without irregular heartbeats.
This study tests whether looking at your genes can help doctors understand and treat arrhythmic myocarditis (a type of heart muscle inflammation that can cause irregular heartbeats). It may help find better treatments for people with this condition.
This study uses heart MRI scans to predict who might develop dangerous heart rhythms after recovering from myocarditis. It aims to find better ways to monitor patients and prevent emergencies.
This study tests whether a special heart panel can help doctors better manage and treat children with myocarditis (heart inflammation) that is causing irregular heartbeats or heart weakness. It aims to improve care for young patients with more serious forms of the condition.
This study is creating a national registry to learn more about inflammatory myocardial disease (inflammation of the heart muscle). If you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or certain test results, you may be eligible to join and help advance research.
This trial studies patients who need an endocardial myocardial biopsy, meaning a small heart muscle sample taken from inside the heart. It’s meant for people with heart problems whose cause is not clearly known and may help doctors learn more about what’s going on.
