The Canadian Alliance for Healthy Hearts and Minds is a Canadian multicenter cohort study of healthy participants with the aim of better understanding the impact of individual, socio-economic and other environmental factors leading to cardiac and vascular disease. Participants undergo deep phenotyping employing history taking, blood and genetic testing, and multi organ imaging with MRI. Clinical follow up and search of clinical administrative database will allow the integration of baseline data with various outcome measures. In addition, funding for further imaging has now been designated for a select group of the nearly 9000 initial participants likely in the order of 2500 participants. Sunnybrook Health Sciences is one of the main imaging sites in Ontario.
