We encourage people to take part in clinical trials (where appropriate) and we promote research projects which can make a real difference to how cardiomyopathy is understood and treated.
Below you can find more information about current research projects, and how you can get involved.
Heart Hive is a new database for individuals who have shown an interest in participating in clinical trials and attempts to match people with researchers looking for trial participants. If you would like to sign up, visit the Heart Hive website.
This social research looks at people's experience with cardiomyopathy who have taken cardiac rehabilitation programmes. The research is being conducted by an MSc student at De Montfort University, Leicester. You can read about the study and how to sign up here
This research study looks at the role of the Lamin gene in Dilated Cardiomyopathy. You can find out more about this project here. Clinical trials are being conducted at St Barts in London and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
