NCT ID NCT07393412
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is building a huge database of up to 800,000 Korean patients with heart or brain vascular disease. By tracking their health over many years, researchers hope to understand the unique patterns and risk factors in this population. The goal is to create a platform that can lead to better, personalized prevention and treatment strategies.
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 registry could provide crucial data to personalize prevention and treatment for heart and brain vascular diseases in Korean patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test a new drug or therapy, and results may take many years to influence clinical practice.

Who is studied
The study population consists of patients diagnosed with or treated for heart and brain vascular diseases (cardiovascular diseases and stroke) at Samsung Medical Center, a tertiary academic hospital in Seoul, Korea. This cohort includes: Retrospective Group: Patients with clinical records within the hospital's historical database to analyze past clinical courses and long-term outcomes. Prospective Group: Patients newly visiting or currently under follow-up care at the heart, stroke, and vascular centers who consent to long-term monitoring. The population covers a wide clinical spectrum, from acute emergency cases (e.g., myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke) to chronic management.
