The CASABLANCA Study: Catheter Sampled Blood Archive in Cardiovascular Diseases

Completed

Conditions studied: Atherosclerosis, Contrast Induced Nephropathy, Renal Impairment

In brief

The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between novel blood tests for heart function (including hormones and heart enzymes measured in the blood), and assess for kidney damage before and after angiography (cardiac catheterization). We hypothesize that these novel tests will enable us to predict possible complications of catheterization immediately after the procedure.
