Create a heart tissue and blood sample registry
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects blood and/or heart tissue samples from certain people getting heart procedures or with a long-term heart pump. The goal is to store these samples for future research that may improve care for heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- You may be eligible if you’re either planned for an LVAD or heart transplant, or you’re having another heart surgery where discarded tissue is removed
- Alternatively, you may qualify if you already have a long-term heart pump (VAD) and no heart surgery is planned when you sign up
- You agree to donate blood and/or heart tissue samples
- You agree your samples will be stored long-term for research
- You (or your legal representative) can sign consent in writing

This is a hospital-based study that collects standardized information about adults with specific heart conditions—heart failure, coronary artery disease, or atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors and researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
This registry study checks whether a new venous blood tube used with a heart pump is safe and practical for people whose right heart is failing and who may need a heart transplant. If you qualify, your care team would monitor how the device works over time.
This study looks at people having a right heart catheterization to learn more about heart function. It is observational, meaning no treatments are given—it just gathers information that might help improve care.
This study creates a collection of skin cells (turned into stem cells in a lab) from people with various heart and blood vessel conditions. It aims to find new ways to understand and treat these diseases.
This study is creating a registry to track and learn from people with advanced heart failure or who have had a heart transplant. By joining, you help researchers better understand these conditions and improve care.
This study looks at how stiff your arteries are and how well your blood vessels work in people with heart failure. It might help doctors understand heart failure better and find new ways to treat it.
