Study how heart cell connections differ in inherited rhythm problems
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how proteins that connect heart cells are distributed in people with inherited heart rhythm disorders (and some family members who may carry the gene). It aims to better understand the biology behind these conditions, which may help improve risk assessment and future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You (or a close relative) are being seen for an inherited heart rhythm problem at St. George’s inherited heart clinic
- You may be a person with symptoms, or a family member who carries the gene but may not have symptoms yet
- You can have any treatment plan (medicines, devices, or procedures) and still join
- You are able and willing to sign informed consent for the study
- You can explain the study in English, or you have a translator available if needed

This study compares inflammation-related signals in people with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy versus people having certain heart procedures for non-cancer, non-inflammatory reasons. It may help researchers better understand what drives abnormal heart rhythms in this condition.
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.
This trial is a “clinical cohort” study, meaning it follows adults with certain heart rhythm issues to understand them better. Your participation may help researchers learn what to expect and how best to support people over time.
This study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can help doctors understand if treatments prevent dangerous heart rhythms in active people. It involves people with or without heart devices like ICDs or pacemakers, and may help improve care for active individuals with heart conditions.
This trial studies children with inherited (genetic) heart conditions that started before age 16. It may help improve how doctors identify the genetic cause and understand which families are affected.
This study looks for hidden heart rhythm problems in adults. It involves simple tests to find conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed.
