Is NHLBI envisioning a network, or several networks? Are pediatric cardiovascular networks also considered?
This is envisioned as one Network comprised of up to seven Clinical Centers and one Data Coordinating Center. The focus will be on adult populations, although a small number of children may be included depending on the design of the particular protocols that are run by the Network. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute supports a separate Network focused on children, the Pediatric Heart Network. All sites are expected to participate in all Network protocols.
