The Hartenbank is a central biobank that collects and stores heart tissue from deceased donors for scientific research. Using this heart tissue, researchers are investigating exactly how a healthy heart works and what goes wrong in various heart conditions. This enables us to diagnose diseases earlier and/or more accurately, and to develop better treatments. If you register as a donor with the Heart Bank, you are giving your consent for your heart to be included in our biobank after your death.
