Heart gene bank launched: 9,880 patients enrolled to unlock secrets of coronary artery disease
NCT ID NCT00590200
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is building a large gene bank by collecting blood samples and health information from nearly 10,000 people who have had heart catheterization or cardiac CT scans. The goal is to identify genetic and other factors that contribute to coronary artery disease. Participants provide a blood sample and answer questions about their medical history. No new treatments are being tested; this is purely a research effort to better understand the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help researchers identify genetic factors linked to heart disease, potentially pointing toward new ways to predict or treat it.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that does not test any treatment. It may take years to yield useful insights, and the findings might not lead directly to new therapies.
