Treatment Registry of Arrhythmias, Complications and Electrocardiograms in Arrhythmogenic CardioMyopathies
300 participantsStarted 2026-07-01
Plain-language summary
TRACE-ACM is a multicenter, retrospective, observational study of patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy who received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and had documented ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The study aims to describe the prevalence and type of ICD-related complications, characterize ventricular arrhythmias documented by ICD electrograms and/or ECG recordings, and explore associations between clinical, device-related, and treatment-related factors and arrhythmic outcomes.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, including right-dominant arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, or left-dominant arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy.
* ICD implantation.
* Documented sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia, including polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.
* Periodic clinical and ICD follow-up.
* Arrhythmia onset available from ICD electrograms and/or ECG recordings.
* ECG/EGM tracings available for analysis by the steering ECG committee.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Incomplete ICD data or incomplete ICD follow-up.
* Significant coronary artery disease, defined as coronary plaque greater than 50% at coronary angiography or coronary computed tomography angiography.
* Primary valvular heart disease or congenital heart disease.
* Infiltrative or inflammatory cardiomyopathies, including sarcoidosis or amyloidosis.
* Previous exposure to therapies associated with cardiac toxicity, including chemotherapy.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
