Summary

This study aims to make genetic testing for inherited heart muscle disease available directly in heart failure clinics, instead of requiring a separate referral to a genetics specialist that can take years. Researchers will train heart doctors to order a simple blood or saliva test for patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to diagnose the genetic cause faster, improve treatment, and alert at-risk family members sooner. About 300 adults in British Columbia and Alberta will take part.
