Could a simple heart catheter test predict serious complications after myocarditis?
NCT ID NCT07676201
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether measuring blood flow in the heart's smallest blood vessels (microcirculation) can help predict serious health events within a year after a person is hospitalized for acute myocarditis. Researchers will use a special technique during a standard heart catheterization to assess microvascular function. The goal is to see if impaired microcirculation is linked to outcomes like death, heart failure, or recurrence of myocarditis in 106 adult patients.
