About this study

Presentation, Clinical Course and Patterns of Myocardial Damage due to Viral Myocarditis

Read the detailed description
  1. Determine the pattern of myocarditis in hospitalized patients with acute HF within the last 3 months.
  2. Determine the pattern of broad spectrum cardiotropic viruses in patients with acute HF within the last 3 months. These viruses like enteroviruses, adenoviruses and parvo B19 virus, HBV, HCV and Covid 19 virus due to its increased prevelance nowadays.
Being tested
ELIZA, Extraction of nucleic acid ,Determination of viral genome by using PCR, Quantitative real-time PCR to assess viral load ,Immunohistochemistry analysis of EMB.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
patients suspected for viral myocarditisAll patients admitted with unexplained heart failure in the last 3 months will be investigated for viral myocarditis by the use of 12 lead ECG, echocardiography, Cardiac MRI , coronary angiography, Endomyocardial biopsy ( optional ), serological tests including ELIZA,Extraction of nucleic acid, Determination of viral genome by using PCR., Quantitative real-time PCR to assess viral load, Immunohistochemistry analysis of EMB.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: ELIZA, Extraction of nucleic acid ,Determination of viral genome by using PCR, Quantitative real-time PCR to assess viral load ,Immunohistochemistry analysis of EMB.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the pattern of myocarditis in hospitalized patients with acute HF within the last 3 months

    All patients admitted with symptoms , signs and echocardiographic finding suggesting myocarditis within 3 months from start of the symptoms. as acute heart failure, arrhythmias, typical chest pain with ST segment deviation in ECG . dilated cardiomyopathy associated with normal Coronary Angiography, history of upper respiratory tract infection within the last 3 months. All will be investigated for determine the pattern of viral myocarditis in those patients

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. determination of the caustive organism

    1. Determine the pattern of broad spectrum cardiotropic viruses in patients with acute HF within the last 3 months. These viruses like enteroviruses, adenoviruses and parvo B19 virus, HBV, HCV and Covid 19 virus due to its increased prevelance nowadays.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Viral Myocarditis, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shery Asaad, Resident (01270992244, drshosho31@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the pattern of myocarditis in hospitalized patients with acute HF within the last 3 months (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2020.
