Cardiovascular and Metabolic Sciences Biorepository
- Conditions
- Metabolic DiseaseCardiovascular Diseases
- Registration Number
- NCT06560424
- Lead Sponsor
- The Cleveland Clinic
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Sciences Biorepository is to collect and store information and biospecimens (blood, urine, stool, and heart tissue) from patients with and without cardiovascular and metabolic diseases to create a readily available biorepository of samples and related medical health information to expedite future research into the causes and consequences of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
- Detailed Description
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and other vascular diseases, like stroke, and metabolic diseases, like diabetes, are consistently in the top ten causes of death (CDC, 2024). There is clearly a need for continuing research and innovation into improved diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
The goal of this biorepository is to provide an easily accessible collection of samples for researchers to utilize. The biorepository will also serve as a place to store residual samples from other cardiovascular disease (CVD) studies for future use, to make the best use of these biospecimen resources.
