Genetic causes of cardiac arrest in young adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the genetic causes of cardiac arrest that happens outside the hospital in younger people. If you or a family member had a cardiac arrest before age 50 in Lombardy, Italy, researchers may test your DNA to find inherited risks that could affect other family members.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were 50 years old or younger when the cardiac arrest happened.
- The cardiac arrest occurred in the Lombardy region of Italy.
- Emergency medical services started resuscitation (like CPR or defibrillation) at the scene.
- The cardiac arrest was due to a medical problem, not an injury or accident.
- You are 18 years or older.

This study looks at how quickly and effectively first responders treat cardiac arrests that happen outside the hospital in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Researchers review past cases to understand which response methods work best to save lives.
This trial is studying a new system where trained volunteers respond quickly to help people whose heart stops outside of a hospital in Zug, Switzerland. The goal is to see if this system improves survival and recovery.
This trial is a registry study that records information about children under 18 who have had a cardiac arrest in the Netherlands. It aims to collect data to better understand and improve care for children in this situation.
This study tests a different way of doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when someone's heart stops. It aims to see if this adapted approach can improve outcomes for patients.
This trial looks at how well patients do after a cardiac arrest, focusing on how care has improved over time following new guidelines. It aims to find better ways to help people who survive a cardiac arrest.
This study looks at why young adults have a cardiac arrest (when the heart suddenly stops pumping) outside the hospital, with no injury involved. It aims to better understand causes such as heart, genetic, or other medical issues.
