Filter by:This is an observational, retrospective pharmacovigilance study based on reports registered and transmitted in VigiBase®, the WHO's international database. This study includes all reports identified as exposure to an ICI and suspect of inducing adverse drug reaction. The aim of the study is to characterize immune-related adverse reactions associated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors, particularly their time-to-onset, co-occurence, factors associate with their over-report and fatality.
In this study, the investigators analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with acute myocarditis in South Korea
The clinical trial studies the human pathogen of SARS-CoV-2, with a specificity in the circulating Spike 2 protein in the human system. The clinical trial hypothesizes that SARS-CoV-2 human pathogen arises from immune attacks, underlying the severe physiological symptoms that can be lethal. It further hypothesizes that the vaccines do not deal with the Spike 2 protein that causes the immune attacks.
This study evaluates the incidence, patient characteristics and outcome of myocarditis after the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in healthcare professionals.
Depersonalized multi-centered registry initiated to analyze dynamics of non-infectious diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection in population of Eurasian adult patients.
The study will evaluate myocardial inflammation in cyclists after high intense and sustained exercise. Our hypothesis is that strenuous exercise in recreational cyclists may be associated with myocardial inflammation. Myocardial fibrosis in asymptomatic athletes is associated with life-threatening arrhythmic events and sudden death. Although myocarditis seems to be the most likely underlying cause, it remains unclear if strenuous and sustained physical exercise can cause myocardial inflammation with development of myocyte necrosis and possibly myocardial fibrosis in athletes. Nineteen recreational cyclists performing "L'ETAPE DU TOUR (EDT) de France" a cycling ride (175 km, 3600 m of positive altitude difference) on July 4 2021 will be included in this study. Each participant will complete a detailed questionnaire detailing their training history. All participants will have exercise testing approximately 1 week before the EDT stage to set aerobic and anaerobic gas exchange thresholds, as well as VO2max. In part 2 of the study cardiac MRI will be performed at rest before the EDT cycling ride completion. An ECG registration using a RootiRx will be realized during and up to 6 hours after the cycling ride. An echocardiography and cardiac MRI will be repeated in each cyclist between 3 and 6 hours after EDT cycling ride completion. A blood sample will be obtained at that time after the ride. This time point is chosen based on the highest troponin release that 3 to 6 hours post-exercise would allow a sufficient amount of time for inflammation to develop and be detectable, corresponding with the time when cardiac Troponin T is typically detectable and representing the liberation of enzymes from damaged myocytes. Finally, a third cardiac MRI will be repeated 24 hours after start of the cycling ride to verify the evolution of possible inflammation over this time period.
From May 2020 to May 2021, the investigators retrospectively evaluated clinical cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations performed in patients with suspected cardiac involvement post COVID-19. Between May 2021 and August 2021, the investigators evaluated patients with suspected cardiac disease after COVID-19 vaccination.
This study evaluates positron emission tomography for the diagnosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promising results in various malignancies however, several immune related adverse events have been described of which myocarditis carries the highest reported mortality. Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography, help find and diagnose myocarditis and provide functional or disease activity information as opposed to the largely structural/anatomic information.

As of March 2020, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, halting athletic competition worldwide. Reports from China show a high prevalence of cardiac involvement in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. These cardiac forms were found to be closely associated with adverse outcomes. The use of Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) had allowed to show that cardiac dysfunction could be mediated by myocardial inflammation (i.e. myocarditis). The direct implication of the virus was demonstrated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 being detected on myocardial biopsies in a patient with severe heart failure. The experience with other viruses causing acute myocarditis shows that there is a high rate of undetected injuries. Indeed, although severe heart failure can be present at the acute stage, acute viral myocarditis is most commonly pauci or asymptomatic, but still leaving occult myocardial scars visible on MRI, and exposing to higher risks of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death over the long term. Although athletes are younger and have fewer comorbidities than the general population and therefore are at lower risk for severe disease or death, there is a critical and urgent need to assess the prevalence of occult scars in the population of high-level athletes returning to training after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemia.
