Genetics of Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect but the cause for the majority of cardiac birth defects remains unknown. Numerous epidemiologic studies have demonstrated evidence that genetic factors likely play a contributory, if not causative, role in CHD. While numerous genes have been identified by …
Prospective Coronary Heart Disease Cohort
To evaluate the biomarkers for the prognosis of coronary heart disease, patients with coronary heart disease will be recruited and followed up for at least 2 years.
Etiological DiagnOsis of caRdiac Diseases Based on echoCardiograpHIc Images and Clinical Data.
Research hypothesis - Recent studies have shown that high-dimensional descriptors of the cardiac function can be efficiently exploited to characterize targeted pathologies. In this project, the investigators hypothesize that echocardiograms possess a wealth of information that is currently under-exploited and that, combined with relevant patient data, will allow the development …
Circulating Markers for Ischemic Heart Disease
The purpose of this research is to determine if two proteins in the blood are increased during acute myocardial infarction and whether their levels are higher in those who develop heart failure than those who do not. These two proteins are produced and potentially released when the heart muscle is …
Valvular Heart Disease in Women Registry
Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a major global health issue. Untreated rheumatic heart disease persists in many regions, preventable with timely care. Higher-income countries face rising calcific valve disease from aging, worsened by VHD complications, like infective endocarditis, resulting in higher morbidity/mortality. Gender disparities in VHD remains understudied, despite inequalities …
A Cardiac Disease Quality of Life Study
A prospective, longitudinal, non-comparator, non-randomized observational cohort study to assess the quality of life in adult patients affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and thoracic aortic dilatations who are not amenable to surgery, as well as those affected radiation-induced cardiac disease caused by radiation therapy.
The Helios Heart Registry: A Standardized Registry for Patients With Specific Cardiac Diseases
Investigator-initiated, prospective, non-randomized, open label, non-interventional multicenter registry to evaluate current treatment of three major cardiovascular disease entities in clinical practice using a standardized variable-set of relevant covariates and outcome measures.
Diabetes and Heart Disease Risk in Blacks
It is unknown if obesity contributes to the development of heart disease in African American men and women. This study was created to determine whether there is a relationship between sex and body size and the incidence of heart disease in African American men and women. Researchers will attempt to …
Congenital Heart Disease GEnetic NEtwork Study (CHD GENES)
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common major human birth malformation, affecting ~8 per 1,000 live births. CHD are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and are second only to infectious diseases in contributing to the infant mortality rate. Current understanding of the etiology of pediatric cardiovascular disorders is …
Screening and Secondary Prevention Rheumatic Heart Disease Study
After basic clinical screening including history and physical, Point of care ultrasound will be performed to look at Mitral, Aortic and Tricuspid Valves for regurgitation or stenosis. For patients with confirmed Rheumatic heart disease (RHD), treatment and referral depending on stage of disease. Antibiotic prescription could be shifted to community …
