Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) comprise a growing, increasingly complex population as the result of advances in surgical and medical care. Many, though, are still at increased risk for a variety of adverse events, both cardiovascular and otherwise.

The Boston Adult Congenital Heart Disease Biobank (BACHBank) was started in 2012 and collects and stores biospecimens from patients seen at at Boston Children’s and Brigham and Women’s Hospitals to provide a sustainable resource for the scientific investigation of biomarkers and genetics underpinnings in ACHD.

The main goals are:

To validate the use of clinical biomarkers that have been studied in other patient populations
To facilitate novel biomarker discovery
To improve prospective clinical risk prediction
To define pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease among diverse types of congenital heart disease

Students could be engaged in any aspect of the study, from engaging with study participants to data analysis, depending on interest.

See tinyurl.com/bachbank for further information.

Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Faculty can login to make corrections and additions.
Newest   |   Oldest   |   Most Cited   |   Most Discussed   |   Timeline   |   Field Summary   |   Plain Text
PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
