Assessment of the Predictive Value of Anti-beta1AR and Anti-L-CaC Antibodies in the Evolution to Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Patients With Acute Viral Myocarditis
Background of the study Studies have shown that about one-third of patients with acute viral myocarditis (AVMC) eventually develop dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and that the autoimmune response to viral infection is key to the development of AVMC to DCM. A variety of antimyocardial autoantibodies (AHAs) are detected in the sera …
Low QRS Voltages in Young Healthy Individuals and Athletes
There is some limited evidence that reduced size of electrical complexes/traces of the heart on the electrocardiogram (ECG) may be associated with scarring in the heart muscle, which may predispose to serious life-threatening electrical abnormalities and sudden cardiac death (SCD). There is no current guidance on how young individuals and …
COVID-19 Vaccine-induced Inflammatory Heart Disease Prevalence Registry
Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory diseases of the myocardium and pericardium, and can be related to different causes, including vaccines. In the past, some people developed inflammatory heart disease after receiving a live or inactive virus vaccine (smallpox vaccine or flu vaccine). Myocarditis was also seen in people with COVID-19. …
Image-Based Prediction of Ventricular Tachycardias in Post-Myocarditis Patients: an International Multicenter Case-control Study
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are frequently associated with structural heart diseases (SHD) such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Myocardial fibrotic tissue plays a central role in the genesis and the maintenance of re-entrant VAs associated with post-myocarditis sequelae and late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) has proven to …
Absolute Coronary Flow in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction and Left Bundle Branch Block With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective therapeutic strategy in patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients with LVEF of ≤35% and left bundle branch block (LBBB). However, approximately one-third of CRT-recipients do not improve after therapy (non-responders), despite meeting the required criteria. Previous studies have documented that the positive …
MYocarditis and/or Pericarditis Following mRNA COVID-19 VACCination National Surveillance Study
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle. Pericarditis is inflammation of the lining surrounding the heart muscle. Symptoms of these conditions can include pain in the chest and rapid or irregular heartbeat. There are many different causes for myocarditis and pericarditis including COVID-19 infection. The MYCOVACC study will identify patients …
Rare Glycogen Storage Diseases Natural History Study
The purpose of this study is to collect and study key medical data about several ultra-rare GSDs (Glycogen Storage Diseases) including, but not limited to, GSD types 0a, 0b, VII, X, XII, XIII, XV, PRKAG2 syndrome and Danon disease.
FDG-PET as an Imaging Modality to Diagnose and Risk Stratify Subclinical, Imaging Negative Ici-Myocarditis
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate Fluorodeoxyglucose - Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) as an imaging modality to diagnose and risk stratify subclinical, imaging negative ICI-myocarditis, and to determine whether subclinical ICI-induced myocarditis is a distinct and clinically relevant entity with a risk of progression to fulminant myocarditis.
Institutional Registry of Rare Diseases
The goal of this observational study is to create a single macro registry system with data collection on common clinical features, grouping the different rare diseases (RD). Moreover, the specific goals are to generate an alert system for possible cases of RD with data from the electronic medical record, to …
Multiparametric Cardiac MRI in Patients Under CAR T-cell Therapy
Recently chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, a new class of chemo therapy, has gained regulatory approval for the treatment of diseases such as B-cell lymphoma. Known side effects include cytokine release syndrome, which has been described to lead to myocarditis, but larger studies exploring this relationship are currently lacking. …
