Myocarditis and frequent extra heartbeats study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have many extra heartbeats (called PVCs) and possibly inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis). It aims to learn more about how these conditions are linked and how to better treat them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least 5,000 extra heartbeats (PVCs) in 24 hours, as shown on a heart monitor.
- You may have short runs of fast heartbeats (non-sustained ventricular tachycardia) lasting less than 30 seconds.
- You have not had a heart attack or heart surgery to open blocked arteries.
- You do not have significant heart artery narrowing (blockage of 50% or more).
- You do not have severe heart valve disease, a history of cardiac arrest, or certain inherited heart rhythm problems.

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 study tests two different medicines to see if giving them early can prevent your heart from weakening over time when you have frequent extra beats. You may join if you have no symptoms from these beats and your heart function is still normal.
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 trial tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation treatment (using a small device on the ear) to reduce dangerous heart rhythm problems. It is for people with frequent premature heartbeats (PVCs) or with an implanted defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a fast heart rhythm (VT).
This study is for adults with ventricular tachycardia (a fast heart rhythm) who also have structural heart disease. It will track your health over time to learn more about how this condition is managed.
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.
