Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You live in the Pirkanmaa area (Tampere region) in Finland.
- You have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries) in the last 3 months using a heart catheterization or CT scan.
- You are able to do your daily activities fairly well (good or moderate functional ability).
- You do not have a heart defibrillator (ICD) or plan to get one soon.
- You do not have a serious illness like advanced cancer, severe dementia, or a condition that limits life expectancy.

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 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 tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
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 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 study tests a non-invasive CT scan method to detect blockages in the heart arteries in people with suspected stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to find a safe and accurate way to diagnose without invasive procedures.
