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 people with cardiomyopathy to understand which patients are most in need of a heart transplant. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about critical cases and improve care for heart muscle disease.
This study tests whether a small biopsy taken from a donor heart before transplant can predict how well the heart will work after surgery. The goal is to improve transplant success for recipients.
This study looks at whether certain antibodies (proteins in your blood) can help predict how dilated cardiomyopathy will progress. By testing your blood, researchers hope to learn more about your condition and find better ways to manage it.
This trial uses precise, personalized approaches to manage heart transplant recipients. It involves taking a small heart muscle sample (a biopsy) to monitor for rejection or routine checks.
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.
