Cardiomyopathy UK is a specialist national charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by cardiomyopathy, a disease that impacts the heart muscle. Their mission is to ensure that everyone affected by cardiomyopathy can lead long and fulfilling lives. Cardiomyopathy is a group of conditions that affect the structure of the heart, reducing its ability to effectively pump blood throughout the body.

The condition can have a devastating impact on people of all ages, including infants, and is often inherited. Medical experts estimate that approximately 1 in 250 people in the UK, or around 266,000 individuals, have cardiomyopathy. When first diagnosed, individuals may feel overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty.

Managing a life-threatening condition can place significant strain on both individuals and families alike. Cardiomyopathy UK provides vital information, support, and treatment options to empower those living with cardiomyopathy. With the right tools, including medication and implanted devices, individuals can effectively manage their condition and improve their quality of life.

As the only charity in the UK focused on supporting children, young people, and adults with cardiomyopathy, Cardiomyopathy UK plays a crucial role in advocating for better access to treatment and saving lives through awareness and fundraising efforts
