Rare Cardiovascular Disease Biobank Add to Contact List

The Rare Cardiovascular Diseases Research Tissue Bank is a repository of blood, urine and tissue samples collected from paediatric patients under the care of the cardiology team at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The Biobank is managed by the UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science. For the purposes of this biobank, rare cardiovascular diseases include inherited and acquired cardiomyopathies, inherited arrhythmia syndromes, aortopathies and pulmonary hypertension. Biobank samples are collected from: patients diagnosed with a rare cardiovascular disease, patients carrying genetic variants which increase their risk of developing a rare cardiovascular disease, or patients undergoing cardiac screening due to a family history of one of these conditions. The aim of this Biobank is to facilitate research into rare cardiovascular disease in children.
