Launch of the first Dutch donor biobank for heart tissue
The Netherlands Heart Institute is launching the first Dutch Heart Tissue Bank (Hartenbank in Dutch). This is a central biobank in which heart tissue and medical data is stored and available for cardiovascular scientific research. A prospective donor program and a rapid autopsy procedure allows high-quality heart tissue combined with medical data, which will improve diagnostics and yield novel therapies for heart diseases.

NLHI supports research into COVID-19-related cardiovascular complications
COVID-19 patients can develop cardiovascular complications, worsening their disease outcome compared to other COVID-19 patients. The underlying mechanism of this difference is unclear and treatment of these patients needs to be further optimized for future outbreaks. The Netherlands Heart Institute supports two clinical studies that focus on COVID-19 in relation to cardiovascular diseases.

Online training courses
Due to the outbreak of Corona virus and measures taken, many of us work at home. We would like to give special attention to online activitities such as training sessions, courses and more.

DCVA registry for COVID-19 and cardiovascular complications
COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease are an extremely vulnerable population. To give these patients the best possible care and to be prepared for future outbreaks, we need to know more about these patients and the best practices for treating them. Therefore DCVA partners launched the CAPACITY COVID Registry.
