• Investigating heart failure in patients with congenital heart disease

  This study is looking at Single Ventricle Disease, a serious heart condition, to find out what causes heart failure in people with this disease, and it hopes to create better treatments to help improve heart health for those affected, including patients who may share their samples or information to support the research

• Investigating how the immune system affects heart cell regeneration after injury

  This study is looking at how the immune system helps heart cells heal after damage from heart disease, with the goal of finding new ways to help people recover from heart failure after a heart attack.

• Creating a fully implantable heart pump for young children with heart failure

  This study is working on a new, smaller heart pump called NeoVAD that can be safely implanted in babies and young kids with heart failure, making it easier for them to wait for a heart transplant without the risks of larger devices.
