Collecting biological samples and imaging data to study heart health and disease

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This program gathers biological samples, health information, and imaging data from participants at the National Heart Centre Singapore. It aims to study various cardiovascular conditions, including dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and ischemic heart disease, by comparing data from both patients and healthy volunteers. The collected biospecimens will be stored indefinitely for future research on molecular and imaging aspects of cardiovascular health. The study employs cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and fat mass measurement as part of its methodology.
