Cardiac Sarcoidosis Randomized Trial

This study compares two treatments for Cardiac Sarcoidosis: a standard dose of Prednisone (a steroid) versus a lower dose of Prednisone combined with Methotrexate. The aim is to find out if the combination treatment is just as effective but causes fewer side effects and improves quality of life.

Mayo AVC Registry and Biobank

This study aims to better understand a heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (AVC) that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Researchers hope to find new genetic causes and ways to predict the disease, helping to save lives in affected families.

Cardiomyopathies and Heart Muscle Diseases: Cardiac Imaging in the Evaluation of Myocardial Fibrosis Transition

This study is looking at heart scarring, called fibrosis, in different heart muscle conditions. We're using a special scan with a new dye to better understand this scarring and how it changes over time. The aim is to find new ways to diagnose and treat these heart problems.

Accuracy for Imaging Cardiac Sarcoidosis with 68Ga-Pentixafor Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT): ASPECT study

This study looks at a new scan called 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT to help doctors find and understand a heart condition called cardiac sarcoidosis more clearly. It compares it to a more common scan.

Phase II study to assess in vivo imaging of MMR-expressing macrophages in cardiac sarcoidosis using 68Ga-NOTA-Anti-MMR-VHH2 Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
