Heart artery disease in donated hearts
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at donated hearts that were not used for transplant because of artery disease. Researchers want to understand this condition better, which might help improve future heart transplants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your family gave permission for the heart to be used for research.
- The heart was retrieved by the Harefield Hospital team.
