  • Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)

    Get information and support about dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), including symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.

  • 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.

  • Cardiomyopathy research

    Cardiomyopathy is a broad term for a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle. We're funding research to stop this hidden killer.

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: national cascade testing

    The BHF wants to see genetic testing available for all relatives of those affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common inherited cardiac condition.

  • RESEARCH

    The largest ever study of dilated cardiomyopathy

    Imperial 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...

  • RESEARCH

    Developing computer models of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

    University 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...

  • Research finds heart cell changes in people with dilated cardiomyopathy

    Scientists at Queen’s University, Belfast have identified changes in heart cells that could offer hope for thousands of people living with dilated cardiomyopathy, according to research we've funded and presented today at the British Cardiovascular Society conference.

  • RESEARCH

    Testing new treatments for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

    University 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...

  • Dilated cardiomyopathy: improving care and seeking a cure

    Dilated cardiomyopathy means that your heart can’t pump blood around your body properly. There is no cure, and although it can be treated using common heart medications, there are no treatments specifically for the condition. We’ve been funding research to change this.
