Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall objective of the DISCERN study is to develop and validate a genomic diagnostic assay to identify patients at increased risk for lethal ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study. The research will be performed in three phases, each using distinct patient cohorts:

Phase I: Discovery - genes/biomarkers/clinical factors Phase II: Algorithm Development Phase III: Assay Validation

The final algorithm (Assay) may incorporate a combination of factors including genetic markers, biomarker(s), and clinical factor(s). Participation in the study does not alter clinical care. The procedures required by the protocol are collection of a research blood sample (at baseline only) and interviews with the subject to collect specific clinical information at baseline and follow-up (6 mos, 1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yr, 4 yr, and 5 yr) after enrollment. All other data collected is in accordance with the participating institution's standard patient care.
