What this Trial Is About
Heart disease, stroke, and metabolic diseases like diabetes are among the leading causes of death in the United States. This research aims to support ongoing studies by creating a biorepository that collects and stores medical information and biospecimens from people with and without cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. This resource is designed to help researchers better understand these conditions and develop improved diagnosis and treatments. The biorepository gathers samples such as blood, urine, stool, and heart tissue from three groups: people diagnosed with cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, people without these diseases but with a family history, and people with no personal or family history of these diseases. It also stores leftover samples from other cardiovascular disease studies to maximize the use of available biospecimens. Participants provide their medical information and biospecimens, which researchers store and maintain for future studies. The main measurement tracked is the number of samples collected each year over about 30 years. This long-term effort supports a wide range of research into the causes and effects of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, with ongoing safety and data monitoring by the research team.
