Summary

This trial will help researchers understand changes in metabolism in patients that develop heart failure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 19-89 with chronic heart failure who can consent to participate. They must be scheduled for certain heart procedures, like LVAD implantation or cardiac transplantation. People with a life expectancy under 2 weeks, severe kidney disease, active infections, substance abuse, or other specific health issues cannot join.
What is being tested?
Researchers are collecting and studying discarded heart tissue from patients undergoing various heart-related medical procedures. The goal is to understand metabolic changes in those with heart failure.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves only the collection of already discarded tissue during surgery and not an active treatment, there are no direct side effects associated with this study.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cardiac surgeryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will be recruited by a coordinator through electronic medical record (EMR) searches to identify those undergoing left ventricle assist device (LVAD) implantation and explantation, heart transplant, valve replacement or repair, endomyocardial biopsy during catheterization, and arterial bypass surgery. Prior to the procedure, potential subjects will be informed about the clinical study and if interested, they will be consented.
