Heart disease detective: 1,000-Person study hunts for hidden genetic triggers of sudden cardiac death
NCT ID NCT03049254
First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study is looking for new genes and blood markers linked to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AVC), a genetic heart condition that can lead to heart failure and sudden cardiac arrest. Researchers will enroll 1,000 people, including patients with AVC or unexplained cardiac arrest, and their blood relatives. By collecting medical data, images, and samples, they hope to better understand how the disease starts and progresses, which could improve diagnosis and screening for at-risk families.

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 lead to better genetic tests and early detection methods for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, potentially preventing sudden cardiac death in at-risk families.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants, and findings may take years to translate into clinical practice.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
