Gene study in atherosclerosis patients having surgery

This study looks at signs of “inflammation” (your body’s immune response) in people who are scheduled for vascular surgery. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in blood vessel disease and improve future care.

This study follows patients who had heart bypass surgery guided by special CT scans and blood flow measurements. Researchers want to understand how well the surgery works and study a blood protein called Lp(a) that may affect heart health.

This study looks at how certain genetic differences may affect the risk of complications and recovery outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have problems around the time of an operation.

This study looks at artery plaque tissue removed during a routine operation (endarterectomy) to better understand diseased vessel changes. You may be able to join if plaque tissue is part of your planned surgery and you can consent.

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 uses advanced 'multi-omics' testing (looking at your genes, proteins, and other body signals) to find better ways to group people with coronary heart disease. It may help doctors understand your condition more precisely and guide future treatments.
