Abstract

The protocol related to this project is a multicenter study that was approved by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institutional Review Board in May 2018. The study is sponsored by the Academic Executive and Steering Committees of the Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network (CCCTN) and coordinated by The TIMI Study Group at Brigham and Womens Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. At the NIH Clinical Center, data collection will capture information from records of adult patients with cardiac conditions admitted to the multidisciplinary ICU. The study will involve only a review of patient records and will not use specimens or involve participant contact. Medical records will be reviewed from participants enrolled in NIH protocols related to their underlying disease(s). This study will not involve any interventions or changes to the patients care. The study involves collection and analysis of information obtained as part of routine clinical care as documented in the medical record. Data will be collected for eligible subjects admitted to the Clinical Center after the protocol approval date. Only de-identified data will be submitted to the Data Coordinating Center. The information resulting from inclusion in this study will not have any health or medical implications for subjects and privacy standards will be observed rigorously. As of August 2018 the CCCTN registry contains information on over 4000 patients.
