Study unusual heart conditions and related genetic traits
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 1 or older (and under 100)
- For healthy adults: be 18+ and agree to blood/tissue testing
- Be able and willing to give informed consent (or for minors, have appropriate permission)
- If you’re pregnant, you can’t join this study
- If you’re taking English-only questionnaires, you must be fluent in English

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests new imaging techniques, like MRI and CT scans, to better see heart and blood vessel problems. It may help doctors find heart disease earlier and guide treatment.
This study looks at people with rare or unusual cholesterol, fat, or heart-related conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these disorders and improve testing. You do not need to have a known diagnosis to join initially.
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study looks at genetic causes of inherited heart (cardiovascular) and muscle/nerve (neuromuscular) conditions. You may be asked about your family history and possibly genetic samples to help connect symptoms to specific genetic changes.
This study builds a “biobank,” which is a collection of blood and related samples, to support future research on heart and metabolic (sugar/body-fat) conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future prevention and treatments.
This study is looking for people with inherited heart muscle disease that may be genetic. It uses advanced genetic testing to better understand the cause.
