About us

We are Cardiomyopathy UK, we are here for everyone affected by cardiomyoapthy. 

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.

Welcome to our TCS London Marathon 2026 Team who are taking on the epic 26.2 mile challenge in support of Cardiomyopathy UK. We are so proud and grateful for all their hard work and your support!
