Can your genes predict sudden cardiac arrest?
NCT ID NCT00604149
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined the DNA of over 2,300 adults who experienced sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers looked for specific genetic variations that might increase the risk of sudden death. The goal is to better identify people at high risk so that future prevention strategies can be developed.
