Brief summary
Follow-up of a cohort of inflammatory cardiomyopathy patients (suspected or validated inflammatory cardiomyopathy) recruited at baseline by the SFB-TR19 project. Standardized protocols will be used for the assessment of medical history and examinations, laboratory biomarkers, and the collection of various biomaterials for biobanking purposes.
Detailed description
Periodical follow-up of a cohort of inflammatory cardiomyopathy patients (suspected or validated inflammatory cardiomyopathy) recruited at baseline by the SFB/TR19 project. Participants will be followed up at least every year - or more frequently based on clinical need. Standardized protocols will be used for the assessment of medical history and examinations, laboratory biomarkers, and the collection of various biomaterials for biobanking purposes.
