Collecting heart tissue samples for a shared research database
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial builds a database by collecting and storing biopsy or biopsy-related samples from adults being evaluated for certain heart conditions. It may help researchers study heart disease and amyloidosis by making past tissue samples easier to access for future research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be having a medical workup for a heart (cardiac) condition
- Or be getting a right-heart catheterization with a biopsy when it’s medically needed
- Have a confirmed diagnosis related to heart disease or amyloidosis

This study builds a biobank, meaning it collects and stores your health information, blood, and possibly heart-related samples to help researchers learn why heart conditions happen. You might join if you have certain heart diagnoses and are having cardiac surgery for a problem other than an aortic valve issue.
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 trial collects blood and tissue samples from people with and without heart disease to study heart health. If you are 18 or older and either a UCSF patient, a family member of a heart patient, or have no heart disease, you may be able to help.
This study collects tissue samples from children and adults having heart surgery. The samples will help researchers learn more about heart conditions and improve future treatments.
This study builds a “biobank,” which is a collection of blood and related samples, to support future research on heart and metabolic (sugar/body-fat) conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future prevention and treatments.
This study collects samples (blood, tissue, and other specimens) from people of all ages who have or are at risk for pediatric heart disease. The goal is to build a research bank to better understand these conditions and develop new treatments.
