Studying heart inflammation patterns in specific heart rhythm conditions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares inflammation-related signals in people with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy versus people having certain heart procedures for non-cancer, non-inflammatory reasons. It may help researchers better understand what drives abnormal heart rhythms in this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy using the 2010 Task Force criteria
- You are admitted for right-heart electrical mapping as part of your care
- Alternatively, you may qualify if you are admitted for an ablation procedure (to treat an extra pathway or atrial flutter) and your heart is otherwise healthy
- You do not have a long-term whole-body (systemic) inflammatory disease
- You do not have an infection (ongoing or recent) that involves the heart
- You are not taking medicines that suppress or change the immune system

This study looks at how proteins that connect heart cells are distributed in people with inherited heart rhythm disorders (and some family members who may carry the gene). It aims to better understand the biology behind these conditions, which may help improve risk assessment and future care.
This study is a registry that collects information from people with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy who have an ICD. The goal is to learn more about the condition, its heart rhythm complications, and how the ICD works, which may help improve future care.
This study follows people who have been hospitalized for a sudden inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) to understand their risk of developing irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). It aims to identify who might need closer monitoring or extra treatment to prevent complications.
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 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 looks for biomarkers (biological markers in your blood) in people having a heart procedure called catheter ablation for certain heart rhythm problems. The goal is to better understand these conditions and possibly improve future treatment.
