1. A Study of Sexual Dysfunction in Patients with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Undergoing Septal Myectomy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine how many patients suffer from sexual function problems and ascertain if they are improved or modified by cardiac surgical intervention.

2. the Mayo Cardiac Sarcoid Registry

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   Aims, purpose, or objectives:

   1. Develop a retrospective registry of patients with cardiac sarcoidosis
   2. Develop a prospective registry of patients with cardiac sarcoidosis
   3. Understand the natural history of cardiac sarcoidosis through evaluation of outcomes of patients in the registry
   4. Determine risk factors for sarcoid involvement of the heart
   5. Evaluate outcomes of patients both treated and untreated with cardiac sarcoidosis
   6. Understand the complications of untreated and treated cardiac sarcoidosis

    

3. A Study to Evaluate Aortic Dilatation in Patients with Conotruncal Abnormalities

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess operative and postoperative outcomes after aortic valve surgery, evaluate for changes in ascending aorta diameter by comparing pre-operative CT imaging to measurements on follow-up imaging, and examine late outcomes and functional status during the follow-up period with specific focus on mortality, need for re-operation and incidence of aortic dissection.

4. A Study of a Deep Learning Method for Cardiac CINE MRI

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop and test software that may improve MRI imaging by shortening the exam time.

5. Study to Determine the Accuracy of a New Venous Air Plethysmograph in People with Normal, Incompetent, and Obstructed Venous Hemodynamics.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value) of a new venous air plethysmograph in people with normal, incompetent, and obstructed venous hemodynamics.

6. A Study To Establish A Registry For The Pulmonary Hypertension Association

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to measure and improve quality of care (including assessing differences in adherence to evidence-based guidelines and establishing benchmarks for health outcomes); determine the clinical effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of treatment approaches; understand risk factors for outcomes and regional/center differences; and facilitate funded clinical trials of new therapies and collaboration with the PAH community at large, including providers, patients, and their caregivers.

7. A Study To Evaluate Sleep For Stroke Management And Recovery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

8. A Study to Evaluate Perceptions of Midline Sternotomy Scar in Children and Young Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate how children and young adults perceive their midline sternotomy scars (in terms of appearance, associated symptoms, consciousness, satisfaction with appearance/symptoms, and impact on quality of life)? 

9. A Repository of Atria Tissue for the Investigation of Atrial Pathophysiology in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect surgically removed atrial tissue for genetic, pathologic, metabolic, and molecular studies in patients with or without a history of atrial fibrillation.

10. Mayo Cardiovascular Surgery Long-Term Outcomes And Quality Survey

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to collect, maintain, and update the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Surgery Long-Term Outcomes and Quality Registry.
