Biobank Cardiac Surgery

Treatment strategies for cardiac surgery patients have been evolving significantly for the last decade. While clinical outcomes have been improving, there are still significant areas unexplored in these patients. Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, and atherosclerosis.

Biobanking is a fundamental process required in the better understanding of human diseases together with their underlying mechanisms. Biobanking refers to the process by which samples of bodily fluid or tissue are collected for research use to improve the understanding of health and disease. For this study, the investigator's objective is to acquire elucidation in disease etiology, translation, and advancing public health by evaluating blood and tissue results of those with cardiac disease undergoing cardiac surgery.

Treatment and study plan

Cardiac Surgery and Procedures

Procedure

To assess blood and tissue biomarkers of patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Primary outcomes

  1. Concentration of the elucidation in disease etiology from evaluating blood and tissue results

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

    To acquire elucidation in disease etiology health by evaluating blood and tissue results of those with cardiac disease undergoing cardiac surgery.

  2. Concentration of the elucidation in disease translation from evaluating blood and tissue results

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

    To acquire elucidation in disease translational health by evaluating blood and tissue results of those with cardiac disease undergoing cardiac surgery.

  3. Concentration of the elucidation in advancing public health by evaluating blood and tissue results

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

    To acquire elucidation in advancing public health by evaluating blood and tissue results of those with cardiac disease undergoing cardiac surgery.
