Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy Testing

Identifying hidden heart inflammation—before it becomes dangerous.

Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy is a condition where the heart muscle becomes weakened or damaged due to inflammation, often caused by infections, autoimmune conditions, or toxins. It can lead to arrhythmias, heart failure, or even sudden cardiac death if left undiagnosed. At Heart Rhythm Partners, we offer advanced Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy Testing to detect this silent yet serious condition, helping patients receive early treatment and avoid long-term complications.

What We Offer in Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy Testing:

  • Clinical evaluation of symptoms such as fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess for rhythm abnormalities.
  • Echocardiography, including strain imaging, to evaluate heart muscle function.
  • Cardiac MRI with contrast (through partner imaging centers) to identify inflammation and scarring.
  • Blood tests for cardiac biomarkers (troponin, CRP) and autoimmune markers.
  • Holter or event monitoring to detect transient arrhythmias.
  • Myocardial biopsy in select cases for definitive diagnosis.
  • Personalized treatment planning, including medication, rhythm monitoring, and lifestyle guidance.

Why It Matters:

Inflammatory cardiomyopathy, including conditions like myocarditis and autoimmune-mediated heart disease, can progress silently. Symptoms are often vague, mimicking other illnesses or being dismissed as general fatigue. Without early detection, the inflammation can damage the heart muscle, reduce its ability to pump, and trigger dangerous arrhythmias. Our testing helps detect inflammation before irreversible damage occurs—ensuring timely and effective treatment.
