Detailed Description
The goal of this project is to establish a biobank of clinical information, DNA, plasma, and aortic tissue samples from patients with cardiovascular disease as well as healthy controls. The aims of the study are to collect biological specimens (blood, plasma, serum, aortic tissue) and family history; establish a biobank, establish a comprehensive database with information from consented patients, and provide researchers with high quality well annotated DNA samples with demographic and clinical information.
