Recruiting studies
- NCT06804499Recruiting
Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
This study is for people with coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in the heart) who live in the Pirkanmaa area of Finland. It will collect information and blood samples to better understand heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.

This study is creating a simple scoring system to predict risk of sudden cardiac arrest. It's looking for people who already have a heart condition, so the test can be made more accurate for others like you.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 16–90 - NCT00181233Recruiting
MRI imaging to assess sudden heart risk factors
This study tests heart imaging (using MRI) to better identify factors linked to sudden cardiac death risk. You may be eligible if you have reduced heart pumping ability and are planning a specific heart device to prevent dangerous heart rhythms.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07137936Recruiting
Heart MRI Scar Study to Predict Sudden Cardiac Arrest Risk
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at scar tissue after a heart attack and see if it can help predict who might need a device to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. It is for people who had a heart attack at least a month ago and had a cardiac MRI at Anzhen Hospital.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05288894Recruiting
Italian registry for people with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot
This trial is a registry that collects information about people who have had Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repaired. It may help doctors better understand long-term outcomes and improve future care.
Ancona, The MarchesAges 10 years+ - NCT02845531RecruitingPhase 4
Defibrillator device vs medicines for a rare heart spasm after arrest
This trial compares an implantable defibrillator device plus best care versus best medicines alone in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by a specific abnormal heart rhythm. It focuses on variant angina, where a heart-spasm problem can trigger dangerous rhythm events, to see which approach prevents future events.

Sudden cardiac death risk in university athletes
This study looks at the risk of sudden cardiac death in athletes from the National University of Colombia. It aims to find athletes who may be at higher risk, even if they feel healthy.
Bogotá, CundinamarcaAges 18–35 - NCT00733590Recruiting
Study after ICD generator replacement for heart attack patients
This study follows people who had a prior heart attack and later received a replacement ICD (a device that helps prevent sudden dangerous heart rhythms). It is observational, meaning it mainly looks at outcomes and device-related information rather than testing a new drug.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–85 - NCT05890716Recruiting
AI analyzes your ECG to help in high-risk heart rhythm cases
This trial uses an AI program to review ECG heart-tracing data collected from short-term monitoring devices. It aims to see whether the AI can better detect concerning heart rhythm patterns in people who are high risk for heart rhythm or heart problems.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 4 years+ - NCT05665608Recruiting
Prevent sudden death after a heart attack with a defibrillator
This trial studies whether implanting a defibrillator (ICD) soon after a heart attack can lower the risk of sudden cardiac death in people with weaker heart pumping and symptoms of heart failure. It compares strategies around defibrillator implantation, aiming to improve safety and outcomes.
FeldkirchAges 18 years+ - NCT07028372Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of cardiac arrest survivors who had ultra-rapid cooling
This trial checks on the long-term health of people who survived a cardiac arrest and received ultra-rapid cooling as part of an earlier study (OverCool). The goal is to see how they are doing over time.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06856993Recruiting
Study of early risk signs after sudden death
This study looks at tiny particles in the blood (exosomes) to see if they can help predict how patients do after a sudden collapse. The goal is to better understand who might recover and how to improve their care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05373940Recruiting
ICD placement to prevent sudden heart death in people over 70
This study looks at placing an ICD, a device that can stop dangerous heart rhythms, to help prevent sudden cardiac death. It is for people over 70 with specific heart function and heart failure symptoms.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 70 years+ - NCT05724121Recruiting
Study heart rhythm changes during BTK or venetoclax treatment
This observational study tracks how your heart rhythm (heartbeat pattern) changes while you take a BTK inhibitor or venetoclax. It may help doctors better understand heart rhythm risks in people receiving these cancer-related medicines.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT06739239Recruiting
French cohort study of an extra-vascular ICD
This study follows patients who receive a new type of implantable defibrillator that sits outside the heart and blood vessels. It aims to collect information about how well the device works and how safe it is over time.
ParisAges Any age - NCT07527715Recruiting
Heart MRI Study for Dilated Heart Muscle Disease
This research uses cardiac MRI scans and patient data to better predict outcomes in people with dilated cardiomyopathy—a condition where the heart's main pumping chamber becomes enlarged and weakened. Participating could help doctors improve how they care for similar patients in the future.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07436962Recruiting
Loop recorder for mitral valve heart condition
This trial tests whether a small heart monitor (loop recorder) can help people with a specific mitral valve condition called mitral annular disjunction. It's for patients who have scar tissue in their heart muscle shown on an MRI.
BudapestAges 18–60 - NCT03049254Recruiting
Registry and blood/tissue study for certain sudden heart death causes
This study builds a registry and collection of samples to better understand families affected by sudden heart death and related heart rhythm problems that are not clearly caused by a heart attack. It may help researchers identify patterns and improve future care, and it offers a way for patients and families to contribute to research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT07444931Recruiting
Predicting cardiac arrest risk in heart disease patients
This study looks at factors that may help predict sudden cardiac arrest in people with coronary artery disease. If you have a recent diagnosis of significant blockage or a heart attack, joining this trial could help improve risk assessment.
HaderaAges 18–75 - NCT06642168Recruiting
Genetic Testing for Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Young Athletes
This study looks at young people who had a sudden cardiac arrest during sports. Doctors will check for genetic causes to help prevent future events in athletes and their families.

Study of blood-vessel health during non-heart surgery
This study looks at how blood-vessel function changes around the time of non-heart surgery, especially in people 45 and older. It may help doctors better understand risks and recovery related to blood-vessel stress during hospitalization.
Independencia, Santiago MetropolitanAges 45 years+ - NCT07130968Enrolling by invitation
Heart and lung function study with exercise test and five-year follow-up
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work during exercise by using a special test called a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Researchers will follow you for up to five years to see how your health changes. It may help you understand your heart condition better and get more personalized care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac death?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 48 recruiting cardiac death studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cardiac death trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiac death trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
