Heart biopsy and treatment for kids with heart inflammation
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.

- Must be under 18 years old.
- Must have symptoms that make the doctor suspect heart inflammation (myocarditis).
- Must be enrolled at one of the participating medical centers.

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 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 trial uses special heart imaging tests (MRI or CT scans) to look at the hearts of children with myocarditis, a condition where the heart muscle is inflamed. The goal is to better understand the inflammation and help guide treatment.
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.
This study is looking at patients hospitalized with an acute cardiovascular condition to better understand inflammation. The goal is to create a registry that may help improve care for future patients.
