Targeting the world's biggest killers
Research has given us machines that can restart hearts, the ability to fix arteries in tiny babies, the power to give someone a heart they weren’t born with, and so much more.
But heart and circulatory diseases still kill 1 in 4 in the UK, they cause heartbreak on every street. And that’s why our work is as urgent and vital as ever.
Our research, is the promise to protect the people we love. Our parents. Our brothers. Our sisters. Our grandparents. Our closest friends.
Research is who we are. The promise of future preventions, treatments and cures.
People’s donations have got us this far. Every breakthrough we’ve made, funded by people like you.

The world's biggest killers are connected
Conditions like heart diseases, stroke, vascular dementia are all linked by your blood not flowing properly. That's why our research starts with your heart, but doesn't stop there. Our research is unlocking the connections between heart and circulatory diseases and their risk factors.
Beat heartbreak for people like Nino
Cuddler. Cheeky monkey. Building block expert. Nino was also born with a type of congenital heart disease called transposition of the great arteries (TGA).
But Nino's life was saved because more than 30 years ago a BHF professor invented an operation, known as 'the switch', to fix the arteries of babies born with this condition. Thanks to research, who knows where Nino's future will take him.
