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

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
patients suspected for viral myocarditis All 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. |
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Determine the pattern of myocarditis in hospitalized patients with acute HF within the last 3 months [6 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
Secondary Outcome Measures
- determination of the caustive organism [6 months]
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.
