Predicting risk of sudden cardiac death
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years of age or older.
- You have at least one of these heart conditions: coronary artery disease, heart failure, or a genetic heart problem (such as cardiomyopathy or an inherited abnormal heart rhythm).
- You are willing to come back for follow-up visits.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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.
This study uses a computer model of your heart to predict whether you might be at risk for dangerous heart rhythms after a recent heart attack. The goal is to help doctors identify who might need closer monitoring or preventive treatment.
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.
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 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 study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can predict sudden cardiac arrest in people with a weakened heart muscle. It may help doctors identify who is at highest risk.
