What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the role of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) and aetiology-based treatments in patients with inflammatory heart disease, particularly focusing on myocarditis and its arrhythmic manifestations. It includes both retrospective and prospective phases, analyzing clinical data before and after myocarditis diagnosis. The study aims to compare EMB with noninvasive diagnostic techniques, assess blood biomarkers for various clinical aspects, and evaluate the healing process in different patient subgroups. By integrating multiple diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, the study seeks to optimize management for patients with myocarditis.
