MCE Molecular Imaging for Myocarditis (NCT07538544)
MCE Molecular Imaging in Myocarditis
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Inflammation of the heart (myocarditis) is a serious condition that can cause heart failure, abnormal heart rhythms, cardiac arrest, and death. Rapid diagnosis of this condition is key to reversing it. The purpose of this study is to determine whether myocarditis such as that which occurs with viral illness, autoimmune conditions, or certain therapies (i.e. immune checkpoint inhibitors) can be diagnosed using a new form of ultrasound imaging of the heart (echocardiography) that uses a contrast agent that is targeted to inflammation (Sonazoid).
