What this Trial Is About
Researchers are creating a large database of about 12,000 patients with cardiovascular conditions such as coronary heart disease, angina, heart failure, hypertension, and stroke. This observational study aims to better understand the causes, progression, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases by collecting extensive data from diverse patient populations across multiple hospitals and community locations. Data collection involves gathering medical records, imaging, patient questionnaires, DNA, and biochemical information from blood samples or cheek swabs. Non-invasive measurements like blood pressure and heart rate will also be taken. This data will come from patients at hospitals, clinics, and community events in the Atlanta area. Researchers will analyze the data to identify factors influencing cardiovascular health and treatment outcomes. Participants will provide information through interviews and questionnaires, and undergo biological sample collection. Researchers will track outcomes such as all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and re-hospitalization for heart failure. The study includes adults aged 18 and older with active cardiovascular disease or healthy residents able to provide samples. The study provides long-term observation to enhance understanding and improve future clinical care for cardiovascular disease.
