Description:
Right ventricular myocardial tissue biopsies will be obtained from donor hearts at the time of organ procurement ("Time Zero"). Each biopsy will be divided into two parts: one part will be processed for routine histopathology, and the other will be preserved in RNAlater® for molecular analysis, including gene expression profiling. These tissue samples may also be used for future DNA and RNA extraction and related analyses.
