Assessing Changes in Myocardial Tissue and Blood in Patients With Advanced Heart Disease

NCT01099982 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 300

Last updated 2025-07-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hypothesis:

Tissue and serum samples collected from end-stage heart failure patients receiving left ventricular assist device implantation (LVAD) or heart transplantation will provide information regarding the basic science of heart disease. Tissue and serum samples collected from a limited numbers of "healthy controls" (donor grafts that were not utilized for heart transplantation) will serve as a comparator in research database projects.

Design:

This is a registry project; there are no investigational treatments, drug or procedures associated with participation in registry activities. This project is an organized functional data and tissue data gathering and storing (database) endeavor with specific focus on the functional, structural, and molecular aspects of heart failure. Data collection will not immediately influence the course of treatment for any patient.
