ADAPT Biobank for Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders Collecting Patient Samples and Data for Research on Heart Rhythm Problems

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are collecting body materials and data from patients with or at risk of cardiac arrhythmias who have undergone or will undergo invasive or non-invasive treatments. The goal is to create a detailed collection of patient information to support research and improve understanding of the complex causes, varied clinical presentations, and outcomes of different arrhythmias. This effort aims to help identify patient subgroups for personalized treatment and prevention strategies. The study involves gathering bodily materials such as blood, left atrial appendage tissue, and various fat patches for biochemical marker assessments, histological, and molecular analyses related to cardiac arrhythmias. It includes patients participating in linked clinical trials and those undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. Different groups focus on specific types of arrhythmias, imaging studies, or tissue donations. Participants contribute clinical data and samples that are connected with their medical records for ongoing follow-up. Researchers monitor outcomes like new onset atrial fibrillation and recurrence of cardiac arrhythmia over a five-year period. The biobank supports long-term research by providing valuable materials and information to study the disease process and improve diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
