The Genetics of Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Dilated Cardiomyopathy; Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy; Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathy; Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy; Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

• Registration Number: NCT00703443
• Lead Sponsor: University of California, Irvine

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the genetic basis of cardiomyopathies and heart failure.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this research study is to explore the causes and inheritances of cardiomyopathies. Cardiomyopathies are serious medical conditions that result in a wide range of cardiac problems, from no symptoms at all to heart failure. The underlying genetics of cardiomyopathies are poorly understood. This study will collect personal, family, and medical history information to create a database of participants with cardiomyopathies. This information will be used to identify inheritance patterns within families with cardiomyopathies. In addition, samples from participants will be studied in the lab to see if any changes in their genetic information can be identified that would cause a cardiomyopathy. Overall, the research study is aimed at determining the cause of these cardiac conditions so that tests and treatments might be developed in the future.
