  Data from analyses performed under these study protocols will be pooled with data produced from CATHGEN to advance knowledge about heart disease and related conditions. Active protocols include: “Center for Living Human Serum and DNA Libraries” - Pro00012034, William E. Kraus, MD and Virginia Byers Kraus, MD, PhD, Principal Investigators and “Chronic Heart Failure Serum and DNA Libraries” - Pro00012033, William E. Kraus, MD, Principal Investigator.
