Hospital Registry of Acute Myocarditis: Evolution of the Proportion of Positive SARS-COV-2 (COVID19) Cases
France, Martinique, Mayotte756 participantsStarted 2020-04-15
Plain-language summary
To date, the effects of SARS-Cov-2 (Covid-19) on the myocardium and the role it plays in the evolution towards an acute myocarditis are badly understood. The current pandemic of this emerging virus is an opportunity to assess the proportion of acute myocarditis attributable to SARS-Cov-2(Covid-19) and to assess the clinical, biological and imaging presentations, by means of a national prospective multicentre hospital registry of cases of acute myocarditis.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients treated in ICCU or ICU (polyvalent, surgical or medical), in one of the participating hospitals, for symptoms of acute myocarditis confirmed by a myocardial MRI and/or a CT scan and/or a myocardial biopsy. It seems important to include elderly patients who may be under guardianship or curatorship since these patients seem to present the most severe forms. Additionally, the populations most affected by viral myocarditis are generally adolescents and young adults,which justifies including them in the study too. Pregnant women are a population at potentially greater risk, particularly during the third trimester because of the neuro-hormonal changes inherent in pregnancy. This justifies trying to implement the investigator's knowledge through this observational study.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Refusal to participate.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
