Heart clinic docs to skip 3-Year wait for genetic testing in new study
NCT ID NCT07345338
First seen Jan 21, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study aims to see if training heart failure clinic doctors to order genetic tests directly can speed up diagnosis for people with inherited heart muscle disease. Currently, patients in British Columbia and Alberta may wait up to three years to see a genetic specialist. The study will enroll 300 adults with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and track how many get tested and how quickly they receive results. If successful, this approach could help patients and their at-risk family members get life-saving treatment sooner.
