Filter by:This clinical study examines patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and no significant coronary artery disease on coronary angiography (MINOCA) and patients with MINOCA-mimics with advanced CMR. The present study aims to: - assess the microvascular function with a novel quantitative 3D myocardial perfusion imaging approach in the acute phase and post-convalescence - refine the role and diagnostic potential of advanced quantitative CMR imaging - assess the potential prognostic significance of microvascular dysfunction and epicardial adipose tissue on cardiovascular outcomes Participants will undergo advanced CMR imaging in the acute setting (within 10 days after event) and post convalescence (after 3 months).
To study the value of heart rate lowering therapy "pharmacological rest" on the short term in cases of myocarditis without LV dysfunction.
Patients undergoing dual treatment with Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) for various cancers, e.g. melanoma, are at increased risk of developing myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Currently, only limited data on serial myocardial tissue changes during treatment and whether they predict outcomes are available. Cardiac MRI (CMR) is the reference standard for non-invasive myocardial volumes/function analysis and uniquely characterizes myocardial tissue. Therefore, it may help detect myocardial tissue changes during treatment and help early treatment and prevent adverse cardiac outcomes.
The main goal of this study is to characterize presentation, clinical course, and long-term outcomes of myocarditis temporally associated with administration of mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX) COVID-19 vaccine.
Two-parallel groups randomized, single-blinded, multi-center phase III controlled trial in patients with chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy to assess the efficacy of colchicine and associated prospective registry to assess the prognostic value of positive genetic testing in this population.
In Nuclear Medicine, the examinations are long (20-60 minutes) and the patients must remain immobile, sometimes fasting. The anxiety of the latter can lead to poor quality examinations and sometimes, although already injected with radioactive drugs, the patients refuse the examination. In imaging, the use of hypnosis (prior to the MRI examination or with the patient during a scintigraphic examination) is frequent due to the conformation of MRI or scintigraphic machines, particularly for claustrophobic patients (2-2.5% of cases). Medical electroradiology manipulators (MERM) have been trained to practice Ericksonian hypnosis whose effectiveness in combating anxiety is no longer in question. Scientific studies by Faymonville et al, 2006 and Rainville et al, 2002, have shown the effectiveness of this method in managing anxiety using the simplified STAI-6 scale before and after hypnosis. The dosimetric study of the MERM position would then be greatly modified in favor of a decrease in exposure targeted by the June 4, 2018 decree on personnel safety. The impact of whether or not the MERM is physically present near the patient would also be studied. If minimal, this will resolve the current contradiction between the quality of patient care delivered and the radiation protection imposed in nuclear medicine. The investigators propose here a pilot study evaluating remote-delivered Ericksonian hypnosis versus conventionally-delivered Ericksonian hypnosis, which will allow for the sizing of a subsequent multicenter randomized non-inferiority controlled trial. Indeed, there is currently no data available on the non-inferiority margin of this technique.
The main goal of this study is to describe the clinical course, outcomes and risk factors for myocarditis and pericarditis associated with Moderna vaccination targeting SARS-CoV-2.
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 using local screening strategies, including research communications, care provider referrals, and medical record review. The retrospective component of the study will collect information about patients suffering from vaccine associated myopericarditis and COVID-19 associated myopericarditis. Consenting patients will then be prospectively followed according to standard of care protocols. The main objectives of MYCOVACC are to describe the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events, functional outcomes including quality of life, and myocardial recovery through imaging.
This prospective, observational study is a single center clinical registry of patients referred for management of symptomatic or asymptomatic Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs). Subjects will be followed through 12 months. The study will enroll approximately 50 patients.
The aim of this study is to collect clinical data and biological specimens from patients with myocarditis and construct a predictive model for the prognosis of myocarditis.
