Overview
Biobank is a program which collects biological samples, health information and imaging data from consented patients and stored them at the core facility. These information would be used to study the molecular, imaging and outcome studies of cardiovascular health and disease.
Detailed description
This program recruits patient from National Heart Centre Singapore and collects their biological sample, health information and imaging data.The donated biospecimens will be stored indefinitely and used for any future research on molecular, imaging and outcome studies of cardiovascular health and disease.The same biological samples and imaging data will be obtained from consented healthy volunteers for comparison.
Interventions
- Other Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
For the evaluation of heart function and structure of the cardiovascular system. - Other Fatmass measurement
It utilizes a scale machine to measure the body fat and skeletal muscle percentage
Primary outcome measures
- Numbers of genetic variation in genes known to cause inherited cardiac condition and circulating biomarkers which are linked with DNA changes using advanced sequencing and informatics approaches [Time frame: 10 years]
