This is a research program at the National Heart Centre Singapore that collects biological samples (like blood), health records, and heart imaging scans from patients with different heart conditions as well as healthy volunteers. The samples and images will be stored and used for future studies to help scientists understand how heart disease develops and how to treat it better.
Researchers need large collections of biological samples and imaging data from many people—both those with heart disease and those who are healthy—to discover new insights about what causes heart problems and how to prevent or treat them more effectively.

If you join this study, you will have a heart imaging scan (called a cardiovascular magnetic resonance scan, which is like an MRI of your heart) and a measurement of your body fat. You will also provide a biological sample and share your health information with the researchers. Your samples and data will be stored indefinitely and used for future research studies on heart health and disease.
