Tokyo, July 13 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062210) titled 'Retrospective Study Using Clinical Information and Specimens in the Field of Cardiovascular Surgery' on July 13.

Study Type: Observational

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University

Condition: Condition - Cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular abnormalities. Specifically, the target conditions include ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, aortic dissection, peripheral vascular disease, congenital cardiovascular disease, structural heart disease associated with heart failure, other diseases requiring diagnosis, treatment, or follow-up in the cardiovascular field, and cardiovascular abnormalities detected by imaging or other tests. Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze clinical data, imaging findings, treatment and surgical records, pathological findings, laboratory results, and stored specimens obtained during routine clinical care from patients with cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular abnormalities, and to clarify factors associated with disease pathophysiology, natural history, treatment outcomes, complications, and prognosis.

Through this study, we aim to understand the real-world practice of cardiovascular care and obtain findings that may support more appropriate clinical assessment, selection of treatment strategies, clinical management, and follow-up. The results will contribute to improvement in future patient care and to the accumulation of medical knowledge through academic presentations and publications. Basic objectives2 - Safety,Efficacy

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 1 days-old
