CMR Imaging of Autoimmune Diseases

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Myocarditis is an important clinical problem which can can occur as a result of viral infections and autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Cardiac MRI is an important non-invasive means of making a diagnosis. However, current MRI techniques have significant limitations. Firstly, in order to create high-quality pictures, patients are required to hold their breath several times for multiple lengths of time. They often struggle with this due to underlying heart/lung problems. This can adversely affect the overall quality and image interpretation. Secondly, current techniques create 2D images that are potentially underestimating the presence and severity of any tissue inflammation/ injury. This may result in inappropriate treatment, particularly for patients with underlying autoimmune systemic disease who require immunosuppression. Diagnosis by MRI rests on detecting tissue injury through T2 and T1-weighted sequences which detect tissue inflammation and tissue injury. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of novel 3D free-breathing sequences for T2-weighted and fibrosis/ LGE imaging. Patients with suspected isolated myocarditis (viral/idiopathic) or myocarditis as part of an autoimmune systemic disease will be recruited to ensure that the novel techniques are tested in a broad spectrum of patients with inflammatory heart muscle disease.
