Summary
This study aims to find genetic causes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in people aged 18–50 in Lombardy, Italy. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 1,725 patients and also check family members for inherited heart risks. The goal is to better understand why cardiac arrest happens and help prevent future cases in families.
