Studying heart vessel function after myocarditis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks back at people who were hospitalized for myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) to see if a special measurement of blood flow in the tiny heart vessels can predict how well they do over the next year. The findings might help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You were hospitalized for suspected or confirmed myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) between June 2015 and July 2025.
- During that hospital stay, you had tests like an ECG (electrocardiogram), a blood test for troponin (a marker of heart damage), or an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), and these tests showed signs of heart trouble.
- You had an MRI of the heart that showed at least two signs of inflammation or damage, such as swelling, increased blood flow, or scarring.
- You had a coronary angiography (a catheter test to look at the heart's blood vessels) during that hospital stay.

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 is creating a national registry to learn more about inflammatory myocardial disease (inflammation of the heart muscle). If you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or certain test results, you may be eligible to join and help advance research.
This study tests a new imaging technique that might better detect heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis). It uses a special contrast agent and ultrasound to see inflammation more clearly, which could help guide treatment.
This study is collecting information from people who have had chest pain but no blockages in their heart arteries, to better understand a condition called myocarditis. Participating means allowing researchers to review your health records and possibly answer questions.
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.
This study collects information from people with newly diagnosed acute myocarditis using heart scans and, in some cases, a biopsy. It aims to understand what predicts recovery and which test results matter most for outcomes.
