Hope for heart failure
It can be very frightening to learn that you, or a person close to you, has heart failure.
For many people heart failure can be a debilitating condition where normal everyday tasks such as having a shower or bath, doing the shopping or simply playing with the children takes enormous energy and leaves them breathless and exhausted.
That's because when heart muscle is damaged, it cannot heal itself. So once your heart 'breaks', it stays that way.
We want to spend £50 million to help our scientists mend broken hearts and bring hope to people with heart failure caused by a heart attack.
