Cardiovascular Health Improvement Project
This project aims to create a collection of clinical information, DNA, plasma (the liquid part of blood), and aortic tissue samples from people with cardiovascular diseases like aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the aorta) or heart failure, as well as healthy volunteers. The goal is to build a comprehensive database and biobank (a storage facility for biological samples) that researchers can use to study these conditions. You might be able to join if you are over 18 and willing to give consent, or if you are under 18 with parental consent. You would also need to have a diagnosis of certain aortic conditions, such as an aortic aneurysm or other interesting vascular issues. The study is currently ongoing, but the exact recruitment status is unclear.
