We are the specialist national charity for people affected by cardiomyopathy, a condition that affects the heart muscle. Our vision is that everyone affected by cardiomyopathy should live a long and fulfilling life.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle. Around 1 in 250 people in the UK are affected, including babies, children and adults. Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in under 35-year-olds, due largely to a lack of awareness and diagnosis.
