NHLBI Structural Heart and Valve Network Prospective Registry

Background:

Treatments for structural heart and valve disease are quickly changing. But treatment could be improved. Researchers want to gather data from people with this disease. They want to find problems and seek new ways to make treatments better.

Objective:

To find people with structural heart and valve disease with common features to study. To find flaws and patterns in procedures related to this disease. To share findings with other researchers.

Eligibility:

People ages 18 and older who are receiving care from the structural heart and valve program at the participating NHLBI structural heart disease network sites that are part of the study

Design:

Participants will be screened with their consent. This will occur when they give their standard consent for medical care.

Participants will have their data collected in the course of standard medical care. Data include:

Demographic data

Protected health data

Personally identifiable data

Medical records

Medical images. These could include X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans.

The study could find something that would impact participants care. If this is the case, their doctors will be told.

Participants data may be shared with other researchers.
