Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Cardiac biopsy or technetium pyrophosphate scintigraphy confirmed patients.

  • Congenital heart disease.
  • Pregnant patients
  • Patients whose heart failure is felt to be secondary to primary valvular disease (≥ moderate/severe mitral regurgitation), uncorrected thyroid disease, obstructive or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease or a systemic illness.
  • Absolute contraindications to cardiac MRI (such as renal failure with GFR < 30%).
  • Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent.
  • Patients with other life threatening diseases that would likely decrease their life expectancy over the next four years.
  • Patients who are post cardiac transplant.
  • Difficulty to attend the follow-up schedule due to a history of medical noncompliance, difficulty, or unwillingness to return to the study center for follow up.
  • Evidence of ongoing bacteremia or sepsis preventing implantation of a device.
  • Unwilling or able to have the Biomonitor 3 interrogated.
