Discovering the causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited disease of the heart muscle. BHF-funded research helped identify the faulty genes causing the conditions and we’ve helped make genetic testing available to the families affected.

RESEARCH
The largest ever study of dilated cardiomyopathyImperial College London | Professor Stuart Cook
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disease of the heart muscle where it becomes stretched, thin and weak. This means the heart is unable to pump blood around the body efficiently. Treatments are limited and around one fifth of people with DC...

Developing computer models of hypertrophic cardiomyopathyUniversity of Oxford | Dr Alfonso Bueno Orovio
Dr Alfonso Bueno Orovio from the University of Oxford is developing a computer model of a human heart with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), to better understand this disease. HCM is the most common hereditary heart disease and the main ca...

Testing new treatments for hypertrophic cardiomyopathyUniversity of Oxford | Professor Hugh Watkins
Professor Hugh Watkins and his team at the University of Oxford have had a key role in understanding how certain gene faults can lead to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a disease of the heart muscle where the muscle wall becomes t...

Studying the nanomechanics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathyQueen Mary, University of London | Dr Arianna Fornili
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common disease of the heart muscle and detailed knowledge of the mechanism of heart contraction is central to design new therapies. Contractions arise from the molecular motions of a motor protein, myosin II...
