Gene Testing to Predict Heart Rhythm Problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a genetic test to identify who might develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in the future. Researchers believe certain genetic patterns combined with health factors can help predict this condition early, which could lead to better prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptoms like heart palpitations or chest discomfort, OR you are 60+ years old with risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease
- You are between 20 and 80 years old
- You do not have cognitive impairment (significant difficulty with memory or thinking)
- You have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation before
- You are willing to consent to the study and provide a genetic sample

This study uses special heart tests (AI-ECG and CT scan) to look for a hidden condition called cardiac amyloidosis, which can affect people with atrial fibrillation. Finding it early may help guide treatment and improve outcomes.
This study looks at genetic factors in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and weak heart function to understand why some people's hearts recover after treatment and others don't. Researchers will collect blood samples and medical information to identify genetic patterns.
This trial uses a simple, handheld ECG device (like a small card) to check your risk for atrial fibrillation, a common irregular heartbeat. You'll record short heart tracings at home, and the study team will review them to find hidden risk factors.
This trial uses a special long-term heart monitor (one wire) that uses artificial intelligence to find new cases of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. If you're 60 or older and haven't had AF before, this study could help catch it early.
This study looks for unique metabolic patterns in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to develop personalized prevention strategies by comparing these patterns between patients and healthy volunteers.
This study is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that uses a simple single-lead ECG (heart rhythm recording) to predict whether a patient will develop atrial fibrillation (a common heart rhythm problem) within the next 2 hours. The goal is to help doctors detect and treat this condition earlier, potentially preventing complications.
