Heart cell DNA may unlock genetic clues for rare heart disease
NCT ID NCT03177018
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether DNA can be taken from heart muscle cells to help diagnose arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a rare heart condition. Researchers collected cells from 34 people during a routine heart procedure. The goal was to see if the DNA from these cells is good enough to find genetic changes linked to the disease.
