NCT ID NCT04257994
First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a quick, painless cheek swab can help diagnose inherited heart conditions that raise the risk of sudden cardiac death in young people. Researchers will look at how certain proteins are arranged in cheek cells, which may mirror changes in the heart. The goal is to create a safer, non-invasive way to identify at-risk individuals without needing a heart biopsy.
