Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects are capable of giving informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of chronic heart failure
  • Any patients scheduled for at least one of the following procedures:
  • LVAD implantation or as recipient for cardiac transplantation.
  • LVAD placement both as bridge to transplant and as destination therapy.
  • LVAD explantation
  • Valve replacement or repair
  • Catheterization and myocardial biopsy for idiopathic cardiomyopathy
  • Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Life expectancy less than 2 weeks
  • Diagnosed with following co-morbidities: cancer, chronic kidney disease (GFR≤30 or serum creatinine \>2.1), active infection or treatment with antibiotics or persistent infectious disease (hepatitis, HIV, etc), cirrhosis, active substance abuse and/or alcohol dependence (≥ 14 alcoholic beverages per week).
  • Control Myocardial Tissue from Donor Hearts Inclusion Criteria
  • Samples collected from non-failing hearts deemed unsuitable for transplantation by TransLife because of either acute recipient issues or post-harvest evidence of pathology or positive but benign serology.
  • Normal cardiac function from medical records
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Pathological remodeling and extensive infarction with limited non-pathological regions of myocardium.
  • Abnormal or impaired cardiac function from medical records, which are self determinants for rejection as a donor organ.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Analyses of collected tissues

Time Frame: Restricted to the time around surgical procedure

Tissue samples collected during surgery will be analyzed by way of immunoblot and qrtPCR of mRNA for metabolic enzymes on neutralized acid extracts.
