Study of taking heart muscle samples from the inside
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
This study collects samples of heart muscle tissue (biopsy) to better understand heart conditions. It is for people who already need this biopsy for their healthcare.
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 looks at certain markers in your blood to better understand the risk level of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). It may help doctors know how to best monitor and treat your condition.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look closely at inflammation in the heart muscle. It helps doctors better understand and treat myocarditis and inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
