Assessment of Atrial Tissue Obtained From Patients Undergoing Heart Surgery and Tissue Banking

NCT01793623 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 37

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Over the past decade, techniques have been refined which permit an enormous amount of information relevant to disease mechanisms to be gained from the examination of heart tissue. The Cardiovascular Institute has extensive experience with these techniques, and has utilized them to examine other heart disease substrates. In this study, the investigators propose to obtain heart tissue at the time of cardiac surgery which would otherwise be discarded. Their plan is to examine this tissue and correlate their findings with clinical data. Their hope is that the proposed study will provide insight into atrial physiology, including the molecular mechanisms underlying atrial disease and the potential development of atrial fibrillation (AF).
