A diagnosis of cardiomyopathy can bring with it all kinds of worries - including uncertainty about what the future might hold. While many people with cardiomyopathy live full, active lives with the right support in place, it's normal to experience anxiety.

Some people receive a diagnosis following the death of a family member, which can make these feelings even more complex.

This , the Dying Matters campaign is focused on talking about death, dying and grief. Hospice UK is encouraging everyone to have the conversations that might feel challenging - whether that's with loved ones, a healthcare team or people with the same diagnosis.

We're here if you'd like to find a support group, chat to someone else living with cardiomyopathy, or speak to a specialist nurse ❤️

A huge thank you to Leon and his friends for taking on the Jurassic Coast Challenge, covering nearly 30km over the day and raising an incredible £4,000 for Cardiomyopathy UK!

Leon took on the challenge after his mum became seriously ill with ARVC and his older brother was later diagnosed with the same inherited condition. Seeing the impact first-hand made it clear just how important awareness and early diagnosis are.

Leon says: "Walking the Jurassic Coast for Cardiomyopathy UK was a really great day. We had such a good time raising money for such a good cause."

We're beyond grateful for Leon's determination and support! ❤️

The theme for this year's is 'Awareness today, protection tomorrow'.

Not everyone with cardiomyopathy develops heart failure, but it's important to be aware of symptoms to look out for. Think BEAT (Pumping Marvellous Foundation):

❤️ Breathlessness
❤️ Exhaustion
❤️ Ankle swelling
❤️ Time for a simple test

We're thrilled to share that applications for the next round of our cardiomyopathy research grants are now OPEN! 🥳

Our Catalyst Grants are for researchers across the cardiomyopathy landscape to test new ideas, develop proof-of-concept studies or gather data. They help move us towards a future where everyone with cardiomyopathy lives a long and fulfilling life.

Thanks to our first round, researchers are already:

👨‍💻 testing a new AI tool which analyses routine heart recordings to predict risk
🧬 looking at how hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) progresses in the hope of identifying new targets for treatments

We can’t wait to see what the next round brings!

As ever, we’re committed to keeping our community at the heart of research, so all applications we receive are assessed not just by peer reviewers but by people affected by cardiomyopathy too.
