This is science
Your support helps British Heart Foundation learn more about the heart. We're discovering new ways to save it if something goes wrong.
Your heart is precious.
Help us protect it.
You may not always be aware of your heart, but it’s there. Beating around 100,000 times a day, keeping you alive. Fluttering through first kisses. Keeping the pace of your runs. Beating faster and filling with pride through life’s defining moments — the first days of school, the graduation ceremonies, the weddings you’ll never forget.
Your heart is an extraordinary part of you. But it’s also vulnerable.
That’s why we exist. By funding innovative, world-class research, we're discovering new ways to identify, diagnose, treat and repair your heart. So you can continue making memories with the people you love.
Your donation could help us:
- cure heart failure with stem cells
- cure inherited causes of cardiac arrest with a single injection
- use AI to predict heart attacks and strokes.
We need your support to fund lifesaving research.
- This is a required field.
