Genetic Testing for Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Young Athletes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 35 years old
- You had a sudden cardiac arrest (heart suddenly stops) while playing sports or within an hour after, and you had no known heart disease before
- If you survived the cardiac arrest, you or your legal representative agree to be in the study
- If you did not survive, your family did not say no to using your medical information
- You weigh more than 44 pounds (20 kg)

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 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.
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.
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 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 building a Canadian database and tissue/blood bank for people and families with inherited heart rhythm conditions (and some inherited heart muscle diseases). It collects consented health and genetic information to help researchers better understand who is at risk and how these conditions work.
