The study will track how these conditions change over time and how people's bodies respond to different treatments. This research is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a major government health organization.

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.

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.
