Could a short course of steroids calm a dangerous heart rhythm?
Disease control By invitation onlyThis trial tests whether an 8-week course of the immunosuppressive drug prednisone can reduce episodes of ventricular tachycardia (a potentially fatal fast heart rhythm) and improve heart function in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and confirmed heart inflammation. Partic…

Super MRI could spot hidden heart damage
Diagnosis OngoingThis study tests whether a new, more powerful 7 Tesla MRI can better detect scarring and swelling in the heart muscle of people with cardiomyopathy. Researchers will scan 13 adults aged 20-70 to see if the higher-resolution images improve diagnosis. The goal is to see if this adv…

Athletes' hearts under watch: new study tracks rhythm risks after myocarditis
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study follows 50 athletes who had acute myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation) to see how often they develop dangerous heart rhythms. Participants wear a portable ECG monitor and do a treadmill stress test at 3 months and 1 year after their illness. The goal is to learn mor…
