What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a registry of Brazilian patients diagnosed with hereditary cardiovascular diseases by collecting both clinical and genomic data. Participants will undergo whole genome sequencing to identify common genetic alterations associated with these conditions. The study will involve interviews during routine medical visits to gather necessary information and consent. The primary focus is to understand the frequency of genetic mutations in the Brazilian population affected by various types of cardiomyopathy and related disorders.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with a clinical diagnosis of hereditary cardiovascular diseases who are willing to participate in genetic counseling.

Not a fit: Patients who do not have a hereditary cardiovascular disease or cannot provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding and management of hereditary cardiovascular diseases in Brazil, leading to improved patient care.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies focusing on genetic registries for hereditary diseases have shown promise, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
