ESC 23 - We are joined onsite by Dr Mathieu Kerneis (Pitie Salpetriere APHP University Hospital, FR) and Dr Gilles Montalescot to discuss the findings from the ARAMIS trial (NCT03018834).

ARAMIS was the largest randomised controlled trial of acute myocarditis. The study included 120 hospitalised, symptomatic patients with increased cardiac troponin and diagnosed acute myocarditis using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. They were randomly allocated 1:1 to recieve either a daily subcutaneous dose of anakinra 100mg, or placebo until their discharge from hospital.

Results showed that anakinra was safe, but did not reduce the complications of acute myocarditis.

1. What is the prognosis of acute myocarditis?
2. What is the study drug?
3. What is the study design and patient population?
4. What are the key findings presented at ESC 2023?
5. What are the next steps? 

Recorded on-site at ESC Congress 2023, Amsterdam.
