Summary

This study is testing whether a special PET/CT scan using a tracer called PentixaFor can accurately detect acute inflammation in the heart. It focuses on three conditions: heart transplant rejection, cardiac sarcoidosis, and myocarditis caused by cancer drugs. Researchers will enroll 69 adults to compare the scan results with standard diagnostic methods. If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to diagnose heart inflammation earlier.
