NCT ID NCT07444931

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is observing 1,500 people with coronary artery disease to find better ways to predict who is at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Researchers are looking at genetic, electrical, and biological markers, as well as psychological factors. The goal is to identify high-risk patients who might benefit from implantable defibrillators to prevent sudden death.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify which coronary artery disease patients are at highest risk of sudden cardiac arrest, enabling targeted use of implantable defibrillators to prevent deaths.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only collects data and does not test any intervention, so it cannot directly improve outcomes. Results may take years to influence clinical practice.
