Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome (CRDS) clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
CRDS is a genetic disorder affecting the heart's ability to release calcium properly, which can lead to dangerous arrhythmias. UCSF is investigating new diagnostic tests to identify CRDS. One study examines how these tests can help detect the risk of sudden cardiac issues in patients.
Clinical Diagnostic Test for CRDS
open to all eligible people
Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome (CRDS) is a novel inherited arrhythmia syndrome secondary to RyR2 loss-of-function that confers a risk of sudden cardiac death. Diagnosis of CRDS presently requires cellular-based in vitro confirmation that an RyR2 variant causes loss-of-function. We hypothesize that CRDS can be diagnosed clinically through evaluation of the repolarization response to brief tachycardia, mediated by cardiac pacing, and a subsequent pause.
