First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study collects small heart tissue samples from 400 adults undergoing heart procedures. Researchers will analyze these samples to find new markers that could help diagnose heart diseases earlier and better understand how the heart works in health and disease. The goal is to improve future treatments for conditions like heart failure and cardiac amyloidosis.
