Study of premature heartbeats linked to myocarditis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at adults with frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs) to better understand how myocarditis may be causing them. If you qualify, your care team may review your heart rhythm data and other heart imaging/testing to see how this condition relates to your symptoms and risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You have frequent extra beats called PVCs (more than 5,000 in a 24-hour period).
- Your PVCs can be either a consistent pattern (mono-morphic) or mixed patterns (poly-morphic).
- If you have fast runs of abnormal rhythm, they can be non-sustained (at least 3 beats, but less than 30 seconds).
- You have not had certain heart problems like a past heart attack or major heart vessel narrowing.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a small heart monitor (ILR) made by Medtronic can help doctors better manage premature heartbeats (PVCs). If you already have this monitor, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether treating frequent PVCs (extra heartbeats) can help protect the heart’s pumping strength in people who currently feel fine. It specifically looks at patients with a high PVC burden but normal heart function, using a preventative approach.
This study looks at the serious risks of a procedure that treats irregular heartbeats. It aims to understand how often complications happen and what they are, which can help doctors improve safety.
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 trial tests whether a gentle nerve-stimulation device worn on the ear can reduce dangerous heart-rhythm problems. There are two groups: one for people with frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs) and one for people with a defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a more serious rhythm problem (VT).
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.
