Bio-collection for the Discovery of New Biomarkers for the Prediction of Cardiovascular Events
The main goal of this project is to constitute a collection of biological samples, obtained through the clinical activity of the Centre for Screening and Prevention of Atherosclerosis at Toulouse University Hospital, managing patients in primary or secondary prevention for cardiovascular (CV) diseases. The main objective is to validate new biomarkers with prognostic value regarding the onset of future CV events. Besides, the biological collection will enable patho-physiological studies on atherosclerosis related diseases.
