Study tissue and blood samples from heart disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a heart-related diagnosis such as aortic stenosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, dilated cardiomyopathy, heart attack, or spontaneous coronary artery dissection
- You are scheduled for cardiac surgery for a problem that is not an aortic valve issue
- You do not have congenital (born-with) heart disease
- If you have congenital heart disease, you likely cannot take part
- You may be asked for consent to store your samples and health data for future research

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 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.
This study looks at gene activity in the heart to better understand what is happening during aortic valve surgery. It may help researchers find ways to monitor or improve heart care in the future.
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 trial looks at ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, especially conditions that affect the aorta, such as aneurysms, or vascular problems that may run in families. If you have an aortic-related or other cardiovascular diagnosis (or you’re a healthy comparison participant), you may be invited to take part in this health-improvement program.
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.
