Genetic testing study for heart muscle disease in families
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes behind cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle). It may help explain why it happens in your family and guide better care for you and relatives.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a heart muscle problem called cardiomyopathy (a structural cardiomyopathy).
- You have a first-degree relative (parent, child, or sibling) who also has cardiomyopathy.
- You are 80 years old or younger.
- Your cardiomyopathy cannot be fully explained by other known medical conditions.
- You do not have peripartum cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness that happens around pregnancy).

This study is looking at people with cardiomyopathy to understand which patients are most in need of a heart transplant. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about critical cases and improve care for heart muscle disease.
This study looks at genetic (DNA) changes that may cause cardiomyopathy, a disease where the heart muscle is weakened. It may help families understand possible causes and inform future care.
This study looks at people with cardiomyopathy (or related heart muscle conditions) and those who may be at risk because of family history or genetic test results. It may help researchers better understand who is likely to develop the condition and how best to monitor or support them.
This observational study looks at people with cardiomyopathy or myocarditis, and people with a close family history of these conditions. It aims to better understand the condition and what factors may be involved.
This study uses genetic testing to better diagnose, predict, and manage inherited heart rhythm diseases. It is designed for patients at the University of Ferrara's Cardiogenetic Center who have a confirmed genetic heart condition.
This study tests whether looking at your genes can help doctors understand and treat arrhythmic myocarditis (a type of heart muscle inflammation that can cause irregular heartbeats). It may help find better treatments for people with this condition.
