Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy Registry, Biobank and Imaging Data Repository (NCT07110818)

Improving Risk Prediction in Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy (NICM): An Individualized Multimodality Approach Registry, Biobank and Imaging Data Repository

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Montreal Heart Institute

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The main goal of CaNICM is to create a central database that includes a biobank and an imaging data repository for patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), as well as for at-risk family members. This includes people who carry rare genetic variants linked to NICM but do not show symptoms, and first-degree relatives. The specific goals of this database and biobank are to: Enhance investigators' ability to predict the risk of heart rhythm disorders in patients with NICM. Optimize the timing and approach for screening family members who may carry the disease - determining who to test, when, and how. Find the best ways to treat family members early to prevent or slow the disease. Future Phase - Phase 2 Goal: 4\. Prospectively evaluate how well this risk prediction model works in real-life clinical settings, and compare it to the current approach, which is often based on a single risk factor.
