Skin punch biopsy collection for heart disease research
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial collects a small skin sample (like a biopsy) from people with congenital heart disease. The samples help prepare for future clinical trials that may test new heart treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have congenital heart disease (a heart condition you were born with).
- You may be eligible for another heart-related trial in the future.
- You have not had a heart transplant.
- You do not have HIV or hepatitis.
- You can understand and agree to take part.

This early study takes a small skin sample to make a personalized type of heart stem cells in the future. It is testing whether this approach is safe and feasible for people with complex single-chamber congenital heart disease and advanced heart failure.
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 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 study collects blood and tissue samples and health information from adults with or at risk for congenital heart disease or related heart conditions. It aims to help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
This registry collects health information and samples (a blood draw or cheek swab) from adults to help researchers study heart-related conditions. You may qualify whether or not you currently have heart disease, as long as you can safely provide a sample and consent.
This study looks at how genes may contribute to congenital heart disease. It may help researchers better understand causes and risk in families like yours.
