Trial Now Recruiting: Characterization of Patients With Uncommon Presentations and/or Uncommon Diseases Associated With the Cardiovascular System (NCT01143454)
Researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are looking for 5,000 people who have or might have diseases that affect their heart, blood vessels, or metabolism. Participants will have blood tests and heart function tests tailored to their specific condition. Both people with these conditions and healthy people can join to help scientists understand why some people develop heart disease.
WHY IT MATTERSThis large-scale study is actively recruiting and may help identify new risk factors for heart disease in people with rare metabolic, inflammatory, and genetic conditions like Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and cardiomyopathy.
