Brief Summary: In the present study investigators intend to establish a large database of cardiovascular patients More specifically investigators will create a database of approximately 12000 cardiac catheterization and heart failure patients from Emory University Hospital the Emory Clinic Emory University Hospital Midtown Grady Memorial Hospital Atlanta VA Medical Center OrganizedPlanned Community Events in the Atlanta Metropolitan area held at places of Worship local Community Centers shopping Malls doctors Offices and Health Clinics and any other miscellaneous locations eg Parks Leisure centers Conference centers

Once the data has been collected investigators will run a variety of statistical analyses to which will help us to learn more about the factors that cause various cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease angina heart failure hypertension and stroke The statistical analyses will also help us to understand how these diseases can be treated more effectively

By collecting a large amount of data on a large number of cardiovascular patients investigators will be able to analyze with a great deal of precision those factors that influence the onset course and treatment of cardiovascular disease The results of these precise analyses can then be used to help optimize clinical efforts to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease
Detailed Description: Over the last several decades scientists have made great progress in their understanding of cardiovascular disease Nevertheless much remains to be learned about the causes course and treatment of cardiovascular disease In order to learn more about this topic it is important to establish large databases of cardiovascular patients These databases allows scientists to investigate in a rigorous and precise manner those factors that influence cardiovascular disease

In the present study investigators intend to establish a large database of cardiovascular patients More specifically investigators will create a database of approximately 12000 cardiac catheterization and heart failure patients from Emory University Hospital the Emory Clinic Emory University Hospital Midtown Grady Memorial Hospital Atlanta VA Medical Center OrganizedPlanned Community Events in the Atlanta Metropolitan area held at places of Worship local Community Centers shopping Malls doctors Offices and Health Clinics and any other miscellaneous locations eg Parks Leisure centers Conference centers

Investigators will collect a large amount of data on these patients Data to be collected will include information on

Medical record data including imaging Patient questionnaire data DNA and other biochemical data obtained andor generated from patient blood samples or cheek buccal swabs Non-invasive measurements of blood pressure heart rate and studies relating to assessment of the health of arteries

The data noted above will be collected by

administering questionnairesinterviews to the patients accessing the medical records of the patients collecting blood samples from patients which will be analyzed by laboratories for their biochemical content

Once the data has been collected investigators will run a variety of statistical analyses to which will help us to learn more about the factors that cause various cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease angina heart failure hypertension and stroke The statistical analyses will also help investigators to understand how these diseases can be treated more effectively

How the Research Will Advance Scientific KnowledgeHuman Health

By collecting a large amount of data on a large number of cardiovascular patients investigators will be able to analyze with a great deal of precision those factors that influence the onset course and treatment of cardiovascular disease The results of these precise analyses can then be used to help optimize clinical efforts to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease
