Summary

This study tests an online clinic (eCG Family Clinic) that helps families with inherited heart conditions get genetic counseling and DNA testing from home. Researchers will see if more family members use the service and how satisfied they are compared to standard care. About 170 participants, including patients and their relatives, will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: eCG Family Clinic (online genetic counseling tool)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could make genetic counseling and testing more accessible for families with inherited heart conditions, potentially increasing early detection and treatment.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. It may not significantly improve uptake or satisfaction, and results may not apply to all populations or conditions.
