HF Tissue Registry

Enrolling by invitation

Conditions studied: Heart Failure

In brief

This is a registry study. This is an observational, non-randomized, open, long-term project to collect biological samples (e.g. tissue and blood samples) in addition to clinical information and laboratory test results, from end-stage patients who undergo LVAD implantation and/or heart transplantation. There are no investigational treatments, drug or procedures associated with participation in registry activities. Data collection will not immediately influence the course of treatment for any patient.
