UIC Multi-Ethnic DCM Registry for Heart Failure and Dilated Cardiomyopathy
This study is creating a registry to better understand Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), a condition where the heart struggles to pump blood. DCM affects minority groups more often and severely, but most research has focused on White individuals. Researchers want to see if the genetic causes of DCM are the same in African American and Hispanic/Latino patients. They also want to understand how medical, social, and financial stress impacts the disease in these groups. The study aims to identify specific genetic changes (Likely Pathogenic/Pathogenic Variants) at the start of the study. You can join if you are 18 or older, seen at a UIH site, and can provide consent. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to include 1500 participants.

What this trial measures
- Likely Pathogenic/Pathogenic VariantsBaseline
Utilizing genomic sequencing, the investigators will obtain blood samples at baseline for study participants and identify utilizing genomic sequencing the prevalence of likely pathogenic/pathogenic (LP/P) variants in dilated cardiomyopathy patients across race-ethnicity.
