Donate blood for a heart and metabolism research biobank
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You have a known cardiovascular (heart or blood vessel) or metabolic (like diabetes/related) condition, or you are at risk for one.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 samples and data to study cardiovascular and metabolic health. You may join if you are willing to participate and do not have severe chronic anemia.
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 looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.
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 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.
