iPSC Biobank of Biomarkers Diversity in Cardiovascular Disease

Blood Biomarkers From Ethnically Diverse Cardiovascular Patients


Sponsor

London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

May 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The Investigators will create a clinical database and a Biobank of stem cells derived from the blood of participants with cardiovascular disease. The Investigators will recruit participants from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with equal representation from both sexes. The Investigators expect to create stem cells and analyze the blood for protein biomarkers and genetic causes of cardiovascular disease. The stem cell biobank and clinical data will be a powerful tool for studying cardiovascular disease.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 80 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is building a biobank (a collection of biological samples) from people with heart and blood vessel diseases. Researchers will use stem cell technology to study the biology of cardiovascular diseases and look for new biological markers (biomarkers) that could improve diagnosis and treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You have been diagnosed with any cardiovascular or related condition, including: heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, inherited heart rhythm disorders, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects, aortic disease, high blood pressure, or metabolic heart conditions **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 years old - You are unable to provide informed consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
