First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at whether DNA can be taken from heart muscle cells during a routine heart mapping procedure to help diagnose arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a rare heart condition. Researchers tested 34 adults to see if they could get good-quality DNA from these cells. The goal was to improve diagnosis, not to treat the disease.
